Blue Origin

Our engine shop at Rocket Park continues to hum. The next BE-4 shipset is ready for install on our third New Glenn booster.

Working alongside JPL/Caltech, we've developed a Near-Earth Objects (NEO) Hunter mission concept for planetary defense using Blue Ring. NEO Hunter tests multiple asteroid-deflection techniques, including ion-beam deflection and robust direct kinetic impact, helping protect Earth from potential threats. This is another example of how commercial platforms like Blue Ring can conduct low-cost, high-priority science, exploration, and planetary defense missions.

Sharing a couple photos of our GS2s in build and getting their final touches inside our Rocket Park Factory. It's getting a little crowded, but that's exactly the point, manufacturing rate matters.

Because you asked, here is another shot of our GS2-5 hotfire test at LC-36. This is from our drone, giving us this new view.

We hot fired New Glenn’s GS2 serial number five last night, with the BE-3U engines ramping up to 175K of thrust. Love seeing the continuous flow of GS2s on the Space Coast!

Thank you, Senate Commerce Committee, for advancing the @NASA Authorization Act of 2026. The bill’s passage out of committee reflects a decisive, bipartisan partnership between @SenTedCruz and @SenatorCantwell to maintain America’s leadership in space. We remain committed to supporting @NASAAdmin as we pursue our nation’s ambitious exploration objectives.

Our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, built upon the Blue Ring platform, will strengthen the communications backbone at the Red Planet while creating new pathways for science. Capable of delivering multiple payloads to the surface and orbits of Mars, it drives discovery today and prepares for the next chapter of human exploration. Blue Ring is mission-ready to support NASA’s Mars Telecommunications Network program. Learn more: blueorigin.com/mars

You guys liked the last Blue Ring picture so much, I felt that you deserve another one. This is the dedicated Structural Test Asset (STA) undergoing load testing at NASA's awesome Marshall Space Flight Center. So far so good. The Ring is proving to be fit trim and very strong...

We’re all in!

Let’s go! We’re all in!

Why choose between the Moon and Mars when you can explore both — and more? A production line of capable spacecraft means the list of destinations keeps growing while costs get lower. Blue Ring provides communications and can host and deploy science and exploration payloads, all in a single vehicle. From the Moon, Mars, Venus, asteroids, and beyond, it’s all possible with Blue Ring. Learn more: blueorigin.com/blue-ring

@PallottaPedro Good eye!  This is the aft module of our third New Glenn booster on its way to LC-36 for acceptance testing.

Ok, by popular demand, here is shot of Blue Ring 1 in the factory under going testing.

Look what rolled in this morning! The payload fairing for New Glenn's third launch just arrived at the Integration Facility at LC-36 with @AST_SpaceMobile's BlueBird satellite safely secured inside.

Another look. We've integrated @AST_SpaceMobile's Block 2 BlueBird satellite into our third New Glenn fairing. For the first time, encapsulation took place in our Lunar Plant 1 high bay. The payload will now move to the integration facility at LC-36, transported by a specially built transporter that can crab laterally and spin 360° around its center without translation in any direction.

A Blue Ring mission delivers up to 3,500 kg of hosted and deployable payloads to the cislunar domain, including circumnavigation of Lagrange points and all the way to Low Lunar Orbits. Blue Ring’s capabilities enable cislunar missions that are more cost-effective, without limiting science and exploration objectives, by increasing usable payload mass or maneuvering capability. Multiple constellation satellites are deployed on a single Blue Ring vehicle, with reduced propellant per spacecraft, and direct orbit access is achieved without dedicated transfer propulsion on each spacecraft. Once in cislunar, Blue Ring can operate as a command, control, and relay node, allowing deployed payloads to communicate with the spacecraft without requiring direct-to-Earth communications capabilities.

Endurance.

Endurance, our MK1 lunar lander, has entered Chamber A for approximately 11 days of TVAC testing to simulate the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions it will experience in space and on the lunar surface. Thanks to the team @NASA_Johnson for the collaboration as we reach this critical step on our path to the Moon.

Blue Origin's Mars Telecommunication Orbiter (MTO) will accelerate exploration at Mars by ensuring continuity of communications capabilities, supporting tomorrow's science missions, and beginning the enduring infrastructure that will enable future human exploration. MTO offers an integrated solution combining our New Glenn launch vehicle and the Blue Ring Mars capable spacecraft platform. Both have flight-proven heritage. New Glenn is operational, the Blue Ring Pathfinder mission has flown, and multiple units are in production. The scalable open architecture is designed to grow with Mars exploration needs and offers flexible payload capacity for additional science instruments. Learn more at blueorigin.com/mars.
