Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin will launch its first orbital rocket "no earlier than Friday", it said, a pivotal moment in the commercial space race currently dominated by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

After years of development, Blue Origin is finally ready to conduct the maiden test flight of the company’s New Glenn rocket. The flight is currently scheduled for a three-hour launch window on Friday, Jan. 10, starting at 1 am EST. The company plans to begin live streaming the event on BlueOrigin.com about an hour before the launch.

The scheduled Sunday launch could mark a new phase in competition in the commercial space market, and pave the way for the deployment of Amazon's Kuiper satellite network.
