    Endurance testing continues! We completed a shock test last week, introducing our MK1 lunar lander to the environment generated when it separates from New Glenn. 21 accelerometers were positioned around the vehicle to characterize the shock response. All components exceeded

    We're not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn. We're moving to a horizontal/vertical hybrid configuration to get us flying again this year at 36A.  We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in

    600+ feet of crane assembled incredibly fast by the team. We will start pulling down the tower (segment by segment) so we can modify each piece in parallel.

    Quite a sight to see the progress this team has made since May 28. Wreckage recovery from start to finish was completed in 9 days, and all debris has been cleared from Launch Complex 36. Huge shoutout to the team who have been working 7x24. We have started reconstruction and

    Blue Ring MTO’s maneuverability and mass-delivery capability enable a new paradigm in exploration and scouting at Mars, filling current gaps and paving the way for human exploration. Blue Ring’s bi-propellant chemical propulsion enables standard transfer windows to Mars and

    By providing both propulsion for delivery and Earth communications, Blue Ring MTO dramatically simplifies requirements for orbiters and landed assets at Mars, allowing them to focus on exploration, science, and scouting rather than basic infrastructure. Next-generation

    Continuous sunlight is scarce on the Moon unless you know where to look. 🌑 The lunar poles contain "peaks of eternal light," areas bathed in near-continuous sunlight. Power Tower mounts on Blue Moon MK1's top deck and extends solar arrays to 26 meters total height to capture

    I've come to appreciate boring hotfires. Our BE-7 team recently completed a 2,500 second hotfire test at 10klbf on a development engine, setting the record for the longest-duration turbo pump-fed liquid rocket engine hotfire. This built on some of the most rigorous testing in the

    Planetary defense is a pressing challenge in space. Here's how Blue Ring is solving it. We developed NEO (Near-Earth Objects) Hunter, a mission concept that tests ion-beam deflection and direct kinetic impact techniques, leveraging Blue Ring's unique ability to maneuver, host,
