Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during a preflight static fire test in Cape Canaveral, Florida, with no personnel harmed; the incident delays a planned mission to launch 48 satellites for Amazon's Leo internet service.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket has been cleared to fly by the FAA after an April launch failure. The upper stage experienced a thermal issue, causing a satellite to burn up. The company implemented corrective measures and aims to resume its aggressive launch schedule.
Blue Origin has launched a new employee stock plan. This aims to boost morale and make benefits competitive with SpaceX. The new plan allows payouts during external funding rounds and tender offers. This offers employees a chance to realize value from their vested options. The company is also focused on its New Glenn rocket and lunar lander projects.
Blue Origin posted a job for a senior manager to oversee tank fabrication for 'Quattro,' the company's more powerful upper stage for New Glenn featuring four BE-3U engines. The posting reveals ambitious production targets: ramping from 12 vehicles per year currently to 60 by Q3 2028, then 100 second stages annually by 2029. A company official confirmed these targets are accurate. The 9×4 variant (nine first stage engines, four upper stage engines) could debut next year for NASA's Artemis program. The company has launched New Glenn three times since January 2025, though the most recent launch experienced an upper stage anomaly.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket successfully landed its reusable booster on a drone ship during the NG-3 mission, marking the first reuse of a flown booster. However, the upper stage failed to place the AST SpaceMobile BlueBird 7 satellite in the correct orbit, placing it too low for operations. The FAA has grounded New Glenn pending investigation, with Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp acknowledging the BE-3U engine didn't produce sufficient thrust. This marks the first major failure for the program since its inaugural flight in January 2025.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket successfully launched from Cape Canaveral but failed to deploy an AST SpaceMobile communications satellite into the correct orbit, resulting in payload loss. While NASA was not directly involved, the failure has implications for the Artemis programme as Blue Origin is contracted to develop a human landing system. The rocket is grounded pending FAA investigation, creating uncertainty for NASA's timeline to return humans to the Moon later this decade.
The FAA has classified Blue Origin's recent New Glenn launch as a "mishap" after the rocket's upper stage failed to deploy its satellite payload into the intended orbit. The agency has grounded the company, owned by Jeff Bezos, pending a detailed investigation to ensure public safety and prevent future occurrences.
