One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. and have both been extremely helpful.
This team. Never tell them the odds.

We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2’s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.

Thank you for being here today. Your support means a lot to the whole team. We will get back to flight, and we will get to the Moon. Gradatim Ferociter.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those
Inspiring. Thanks for all your support. We will return to flight as soon as possible!

Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety.
Please report the location immediately:

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.
is the stepping stone towards everything that comes next.

The near impossible is becoming possible.
We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and
0:04 / 1:19
Up next for : Leo New Glenn 1 (LN-01).
LN-01 is the first of 24 Leo launches on Blue Origin’s new reusable, heavy-lift rocket, and will be our largest payload yet with 48 Leo satellites on board.
Our four-tier stack is fully encapsulated in New Glenn’s 7-meter
Exciting mission coming up! NG-4 will launch the most satellites at one time for in our 7-meter New Glenn fairing. Couldn't be prouder to support the Leo team on this mission.
Lunar Permanence is only possible with recurring access to the Moon, and it starts this year. Proud to support at the lunar South Pole with our Blue Moon MK1 vehicles delivering high-cadence, low-cost access—MK1-101 Endurance (Moon Base 1), followed by MK1-102

The FAA has approved our NG-3 report, and corrective measures have been implemented. Prior to our second GS2 burn, we experienced an off-nominal thermal condition, and, as a result, one of the BE-3U engines didn't achieve full thrust to reach our target orbit.
