New Glenn
Blue Origin’s heavy rocket, with a booster that lands on a ship at sea.
The goal
A reusable heavy rocket for big satellites, Amazon’s Leo internet constellation, NASA science and Blue Origin’s own Blue Moon landers.
Where it stands
New Glenn has flown three times since January 2025, and its booster landed at sea on the second flight. On May 28, 2026, a rocket exploded during a test on the pad before its fourth flight and badly damaged Launch Complex 36. Blue Origin says it wants to fly again before the end of 2026.
