Sure. New Glenn is a very large heavy lift launch vehicle. It'll take about 45 metric tons to LEO, a very large class. It's about half the thrust, a little more than half the thrust, of the Saturn V rocket. So it's about 3.9 million pounds of thrust on liftoff. The booster has seven BE-4 engines. Each engine generates a little more than 550,000 pounds of thrust.
