Landing Platform Vessel 1, nicknamed Jacklyn, is a barge which was manufactured for Blue Origin in 2024 for use as a landing platform ship. It is meant to enter service in 2024 for the New Glenn launch vehicle.
The LPV1 barge replaced the ship, also named Jacklyn, that Blue Origin had purchased in 2018 and intended to use as a landing platform vessel until 2022, when Blue scrapped it.




History


Landing Platform Vessel 1 (LPV1) is a specialized barge designed to support Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket launches. It was laid down at a shipyard in Romania in February 2023 and launched in January 2024. The partially completed vessel was towed to Damen Shipyards in Brest, France for finishing works and commissioning in April 2024. Before being named LPV1, it carrried the yard identification Damen Mangalia 522520. After brief sea trials, the vessel departed Brest for Florida in August 2024. As of June 2024, LPV1 was planned to see its first use in October 2024, during the maiden launch of the New Glenn rocket, where it will attempt to capture and land the rocket's first stage, but by September, the initial launch had been delayed by Blue Origin.
Blue Origin announced on 2 September 2024, that LPV1 would be nicknamed named Jacklyn. This tribute honors Jeff Bezos's mother, Jacklyn Bezos, whose name was previously given to a ship that Blue Origin had considered using for landing New Glenn while the ship was underway.
