Blue Origin's landing barge has made it to Jacksonville and berthered at a shipyard on the Saint Johns River. Are modifications or repairs already required?
Blue Origin's Jacklyn landing barge has arrived back at Port Canaveral after a visit to a shipyard in Jacksonville.The barge should be heading out again soon for offshore communication testing ahead of New Glenn's debut flight. http://nsf.live/spacecoast
Blue Origin's Jacklyn landing barge is undergoing a second round of offshore sea trials. Communication testing is taking place, using a helicopter to simulate the New Glenn rocket, as indicated in FCC filings.
Blue Origin's Jacklyn barge steaming back into Port Canaveral this evening following offshore testing. LC-36 stands illuminated in the background ahead of New Glenn's static fire. It's all about to get real... http://nsf.live/spacecoast.
Jacklyn and Harvey Stone @blueorigin coming back from a little cruise out on the Atlantic to Port Canaveral. Looks like a landing gear simulator for their New Glenn rocket onboard.
Docked in Port Canaveral this morning with a lovely view of Jacklyn and the launch pad in the far distance
Our sea-based landing platform for #NewGlenn - is one of the largest remotely operated vessels in the world. One cool system on Jacklyn is our Recovery Remotely Operated Vehicle, or ROV, that connects to New Glenn's reusable booster stage immediately after landing. This connection provides power, communication, and pneumatic links between the booster and the platform. The ROV has a footprint similar to an F-150 truck but is considerably taller, standing around 14 ft. tall when the manipulator arm is raised. During landing, it's operated from a support vessel five to 10 nautical miles away from Jacklyn. What's great about this setup is that it greatly speeds up mission turnaround times and keeps the crew safer.
Departure! The Blue Origin landing vessel Jacklyn is underway from Port Canaveral for the debut launch of New Glenn. Support ship Harvey Stone towing.Good luck to everyone involved!! This will be something to see on the return if all goes well! Views: http://nsf.live/spacecoast
did it ever come back, or is it still out there waiting?

New Glenn successfully completed its second mission by deploying @NASA’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft, powering on and transmitting data for @Viasat’s HaloNet technology demonstration, and landing the fully reusable first stage on Jacklyn. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nYnIuu
Welcome home! New Glenn's magnificent return to Port Canaveral begins soon!
WITNESSING HISTORY AT PORT CANAVERAL: Blue Origin's Landing Platform Vessel 1 “Jacklyn” arrives at Port Canaveral carrying the first ever recovered New Glenn booster from last week’s successful launch. We’re proud and honored to play a role in this exciting new chapter of America’s space program.#SpacePortCanaveral #NewGlenn #LPV1 #BestPortEver @blueorigin
I wonder if Blue Origin is officially renaming Landing Platform Vessel 1 to its alias Jacklyn, based on seeing this notice. Checked a few databases and nothing’s been updated yet, but they’re usually slow to catch up.
