Blue Origin's downloadable gallery explicitly captions this frame as New Glenn at liftoff during NG-2 on November 13, 2025. Blue Origin's NG-2 mission record confirms that the flight deployed NASA's ESCAPADE Blue and Gold spacecraft, and the photograph visibly shows New Glenn ascending under power beyond Cape Canaveral Lighthouse.
About this launch
Existing mission record has a dated physical launch and qualified sources but did not meet the deterministic GCAT identity match threshold. This launch is retained as its own historical attempt so its date, vehicle, origin, operator, trajectory, payload, and outcome can be followed without collapsing it into a program total.
NG-1 — archive:ng-1 used New Glenn from an unresolved launch site. The surviving source record does not provide a separate numerical trajectory profile. 3 payload entries are connected to the launch manifest.
