Damage assessments from the failed launchpad hotfire test of a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket are underway, but initial visual inspections indicate

Despite extensive damage from the explosion of a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket on its launchpad, the company is aiming to return to flight before the end of 2026.

In response to wide objections from potential industry partners, NASA is rescinding a proposal to anchor a post-International Space Station (ISS) commercial platform with a government-owned module, the agency said June 2.

Sonic booms and rocket plumes are part of everyday life on Florida's Space Coast, so when a thundering roar and brilliant light shattered the balmy night on May 28, it was presumed that another booster was heading into orbit.

As Blue Origin races to close the gap on SpaceX, a huge explosion on the launchpad has dealt the company a significant setback.

With Blue Origin's New Glenn rockets grounded, NASA said it wants options to launch the company's lunar lander to support a planned Artemis III demonstration flight test in Earth orbit next year.

The root cause of Blue Origin’s failed New Glenn Flight 4 (NG-4) static fire test has yet to be disclosed, but one metric stands out: 7,174.
