Updates Blue Origin announces the New Glenn Orbital Launch Vehicle

Entry burn ignition
 
Lots of glowing orange in the engine area...
 
It landed with ~120º rotation comparing with the first, but it is there!
LOTS of venting going on...
Meanwhile, GS-2 almost in orbit
 
With the poor audio management going on, we can hear pears like this: "hype it up, they are going to show us again here"
SECO-1! Now coasting to apogee.
 
Broadcast over.
 
GS-2 should be circularizing the orbit now...

Hmm... the satellite should have separated a while ago, but still no news at all.

Here are some screenshots of the entry glow and shockwaves, viewed from the WB-57

Over 30 minutes since the separation time, and no news from BO or AST...
 
When did the deviation occur?

If the launcher had lifted off on the wrong heading, then the first stage wouldn't have been anywhere near the barge - must've been a problem limited to the second stage.
 
Looking at their pre-launch groundtrack, the initial orbit can't be 49º, but it fits very well with the 36º. Also noticing the 2º burn is near the equator, so that was probably where the inclination change to 49º would happen, so that initial orbit seems ok... now we need to find out the final orbit (which could be that, if no 2º burn occurred).

Yeah, the first stage had to be correct or it wouldn't come close to the barge, and the second stage turning during the first burn would make the burn longer (which it wasn't), so that can't really be the source.
Second burn trouble is more likely.
