The 322-foot rocket has been grounded since a May 2026 ground-test explosion on its only Cape Canaveral launch pad, which damaged the pad shortly before the vehicle was supposed to carry Amazon satellites into orbit.\n\nCEO Dave Limp said repairs were slowed by a difficult Florida summer, including flash floods. Blue Origin has repaired and restacked the Vehicle Access Tower and restored the launch bridge. Limp said the company found and fixed the anomaly, previously traced to a main oxygen valve on a BE-4 engine. New Glenn had flown three times since its 2025 debut; the next mission is expected to carry the Blue Ring spacecraft.\n\nBlue Origin pushed the next New Glenn launch to January 2027, after the May 2026 explosion and summer weather slowed repairs.\n\nBlue Origin delayed New Glenn's return to flight to January 2027 following the May 2026 explosion.\n\nBlue Origin pushed the next New Glenn launch to January 2027, after the May 2026 explosion and summer weather slowed repairs.
