Blue Origin Targets End of 2026 for New Glenn Launch

Blue Origin aims to fly New Glenn by end of 2026 after a May 28 static fire test explosion at Cape Canaveral. The rocket's booster and three upper stages remain intact following the anomaly during a test called 'No, It's Necessary'. Satellite images show the launchpad damaged with the support tower compromised but repairable in place. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen, and liquid nitrogen tanks, and water tower are all in good shape.
