๐ Blue Origin Charts a New Path to Return New Glenn to Flight After May Launch Pad Explosion
On May 28, a hotfire test anomaly at Launch Complex 36 destroyed New Glenn's transporter-erector and lightning tower, halting the rocket's flight program. Blue Origin says it's targeting a return to flight before the end of 2026 by pivoting to an innovative hybrid horizontal/vertical launch approach already under development. Key infrastructure like the integration facility and tank farm survived the incident intact. Can New Glenn make a full comeback in time to stay competitive in the heavy-lift market?
