Nearby rocket boosters on deck \u200bfor future flights &#8220;also look good,&#8221; he said, but the pad&#8217;s main support tower needs repair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The New Glenn explosion, though no satellites were onboard and no one was injured, was one of Blue Origin&#8217;s most dire failures since its founding in 2000, besetting both its centerpiece rocket and \u200bthe sole launch pad it blasts off from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>A grounding that could last until year end follows a mission failure \u2060in \u2060April on New Glenn&#8217;s third flight. \u2060Blue Origin has \u200bbeen under pressure to increase New Glenn&#8217;s flight rate due to mounting competition from Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX, the world&#8217;s \u200bmost active launch company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The New Glenn \u2060explosion thundered across the Space Coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida as the company, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, was preparing to launch 48 internet satellites for Amazon, Blue Origin&#8217;s biggest private customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Amazon similarly faces competitive pressure to expand its satellite constellation to compete with Musk&#8217;s Starlink.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=223\">Flesh-Eating Screwworm Detected 25 Miles From US Border in Mexico, USDA Says<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Amazon also has launch arrangements with United Launch Alliance, the joint rocket venture of Boeing-Lockheed Martin, and French launcher Arianespace. A \u2060ULA Atlas V rocket put 29 Amazon Leo satellites into orbit on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Limp did not speculate on \u2060the possible cause of the New Glenn explosion, which occurred as the company attempted a hot-fire test, test-firing the rocket&#8217;s engines while fixed to the ground in routine mission preparations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>SpaceX suffered a similar launch pad explosion with its Falcon 9 rocket in 2016 as it was loading fuel for a hot-fire test, and more broadly as the company was trying to increase the rocket&#8217;s flight rate. SpaceX returned Falcon 9 to flight roughly four months after the explosion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Blue Origin suffered a failure in 2022 during an uncrewed flight of its now-shelved New Shepard suborbital rocket. After a structural failure of the rocket&#8217;s engine nozzle mid-flight, the rocket did not return to \u2060flight until a year and three months later, following Blue Origin&#8217;s technical investigation and a review by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In January, Limp paused the New Shepard program and shifted its staff and resources to New Glenn and the company&#8217;s moon lander work for NASA, two programs with tight timelines. Blue Origin had planned to \u200blaunch an early version of its Blue Moon lander on New Glenn this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>(Reporting by Zaheer \u200bKachwala in Bengaluru; Editing by Sahal Muhammed and David Gregorio)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=221\">Trump Administration to Ask US AI Firms to Voluntarily Submit Models for Cybersecurity Tests<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><b>Copyright 2026 Thomson Reuters<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US News is a recognized leader in college, grad school, hospital, mutual fund, and car rankings.
