# Drastically-Increased Rocket Payloads Blue Origin Showcased Its Large Reusable Rocket Payload By Daniel Johnson | Published 2020-03-13 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-rocket1 References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2020/03/11/blue-origin-shows-off-the-engine-and-nose-cone-of-its-reusable-r/) & [blueorigin](https://www.blueorigin.com/) [Blue Origin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-glenn-1) recently created a video that revealed the engine and nose cone of its reusable rocket, titled 'New Glenn. The reusable rocket was initially developed in 2018 when the [United States Air force](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-drone) awarded the company $500 million USD. Jarrett Jones, the New Glenn VP stated that the rocket is, "sized to fit almost 50 percent more [payload volume] than the next competitor." Jones also indicated that the rocket is seven meters across, which makes it the biggest composite faring to date. One of the benefits of having a large payload is that customers will be able to customize a payload. This can be helpful for launching larger satellites, as it can be launched using the same rocket.
