New Glenn

NASA has announced astronauts for the Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027. Questions remain about whether the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket explosion will impact the mission.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket experienced an explosion and fireball during an anomaly on May 28, 2026, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The company stated it plans to launch the rocket again before the end of the year.

A former NASA engineer, John Muratore, described a 2016 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket explosion during a static fire test in Florida, which destroyed the rocket, launch site, and AMOS-6 satellite. In 2023, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket also exploded during a static fire test near Florida, raising questions about the time required to rebuild the launch pad.

Blue Origin plans to resume New Glenn rocket launches despite a recent explosion. The company reported that damage to its sole launch pad was less severe than initially feared.

China launched the Long March 12B rocket, a reusable orbital-class vehicle backed by state-owned aerospace resources, intensifying competition with private companies in the race to develop reusable rockets. Unlike the U.S. competition dominated by SpaceX and Blue Origin, China's state and private sector are both vying for leadership in reusable rocket technology.

Blue Origin predicts it will launch its New Glenn rocket before the end of 2026, which could benefit AST SpaceMobile. The company is recovering from a major explosion.

Blue Origin plans to relaunch the New Glenn rocket this year following an explosion. CEO Dave Limp stated that damage to the Florida launchpad was less severe than anticipated, though the cause of the explosion remains unexplained.

Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp announced via X that the New Glenn rocket will fly again before the year ends. He provided an update on the investigation into the New Glenn launchpad explosion.

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine test in Cape Canaveral on May 28, 2026, damaging the launch pad and creating a visible fireball. No injuries were reported, but the incident is a setback for Blue Origin's Artemis program moon missions and follows a recent grounding of its New Glenn fleet.

Blue Origin is assessing the impact of the New Glenn explosion, which has raised concerns about potential delays in NASA's moon program.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during a ground test at Cape Canaveral, damaging the launchpad and delaying NASA's Artemis lunar missions. The incident impacts plans for Blue Origin's lunar landers, including the VIPER rover delivery in 2027 and Artemis III. Investigations into the explosion's cause may also affect other BE-4 engine-powered launches.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine-firing test at Cape Canaveral, causing no injuries but disrupting plans for an upcoming satellite launch. Jeff Bezos stated the company will investigate the cause and rebuild as needed, while NASA emphasized the challenges of developing heavy-lift launch capabilities.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during an engine-firing test in Florida, shaking nearby homes in Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. Blue Origin stated it 'experienced an anomaly' and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during a static fire test at its Florida launch site, LC-36A, in a dramatic incident captured by NASASpaceflight.com. The methane-fueled first stage produced a massive fireball, potentially marking the most significant rocket explosion since the 1969 Soviet N1 rocket failure.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded during a static fire test. The incident was reported via an article on Twitter and a Hacker News discussion.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket failed to reach target orbit due to a cryogenic leak that froze a hydraulic line, causing a thrust anomaly during the second stage. The payload, AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite, will be deorbited. Nine corrective actions have been implemented, and the FAA will verify changes before the next launch.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket after a satellite delivery failure was classified as a 'mishap.' The issue involved a second stage engine malfunction, requiring FAA approval before flights can resume.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket following a failure to place a payload into orbit. This decision halts future launches of the rocket until safety and operational issues are resolved.

The FAA has ordered an investigation into Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket mishap, which involves an apparent failure of its upper stage. The rocket will remain grounded until the investigation is completed.

Blue Origin successfully reflighted an orbital-class booster for its New Glenn rocket but faced a setback when the upper stage failed during the third flight. The failure impacts the rocket's role in NASA's Artemis lunar program.

Amazon's Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) satellite internet service is now set for mid-2026 commercial availability, with an enterprise preview planned for late 2025. The company relies on third-party launch partners like SpaceX until its own New Glenn rocket is operational.
