the BE-3 engine ramped up to full power and fired for more than two minutes to simulate a launch, then paused for about four minutes, mimicking a coast through space before it re-ignited for a brief final burn. The last phase of the test covered the work the engine performs in landing the booster back softly on Earth. Blue Origin's Orbital Launch Vehicle will use the BE-3 engine to launch the company's Space Vehicle into orbit to transport crew and cargo to low-Earth orbit.
