Blue Origin has delayed its next New Glenn rocket launch to January 2027 following a launchpad explosion in May that damaged infrastructure ahead of an Amazon Leo satellite mission. CEO Dave Limp announced the revised timeline in a staff memo, shifting from an earlier target of late December.
Background
Blue Origin's New Glenn heavy-lift rocket has faced multiple delays since its development began, with Jeff Bezos previously targeting a late 2025 or early 2026 debut. The company is building infrastructure for its Amazon Kuiper/Leo satellite internet constellation.
