Blue Origin Delays New Glenn Rocket Launch to January 2027
Blue Origin has revised its launch timeline for the New Glenn rocket, now targeting January 2027. This delay follows a May launchpad explosion that caused significant damage to the facility intended for upcoming missions, including those carrying Amazon Leo satellites. The shift comes after founder Jeff Bezos previously suggested a potential December launch window. CEO Dave Limp attributed the revised schedule to the rebuilding process and adverse weather conditions affecting the launchpad repairs. Despite the setback, leadership emphasized that returning New Glenn to flight remains the company's primary objective.
