Blue Origin recently faced a setback in its attempt to launch the New Glenn rocket, as the company called off its first launch attempt on Monday. Initially citing issues with a rocket subsystem, the company later revealed that the delay was caused by ice forming in a purge line connected to an auxiliary power unit.
The purge line, responsible for diverting unwanted gases and debris from critical hardware, experienced ice formation that impacted the hydraulic systems powered by the auxiliary unit. This unexpected development led to the decision to postpone the launch.
