Progress continues at LC-36. Starting to move GS2s from the Integration Facility to Rocket Park as we clean up and rebuild the pad. A couple more GS2s and Never Tell Me The Odds to follow. Great work, Team Blue.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also

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

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: Call: 1-321-222-4355  Email: MissionRecovery@blueorigin.com
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.

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

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.

🚀 Launch Alert | New Glenn's fourth launch will send 48 @AmazonLeo satellites into low Earth orbit as part of their growing broadband constellation. More details to come soon.
A circular emblem for Blue Origin's New Glenn-4 mission. It features a globe with a rocket and a lion against a deep purple background. The text reads "NG-4," "LN-01," and "New Glenn.

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

“Congratulations @BlueOrigin and we are looking forward to this partnership to deliver the first lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) as part of @NASAMoonBase program.” Moon Base program executive Carlos García-Galán congratulates the recipient of the LTV delivery award.
Since the beginning, Blue Origin has been committed to Lunar Permanence. Thank you, , for sharing that vision. We're ready to make it a reality.

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. NG-4 preparations

Fun video showcasing "No, It's Necessary" lifting on the Transporter Erector. Next stop integrated hotfire. "Never Tell Me The Odds" is in the house, too (well into it’s refurb cycle)
