All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

The FAA has approved our NG-3 report, and corrective measures have been implemented. Prior to our second GS2 burn, we experienced an off-nominal thermal condition, and, as a result, one of the BE-3U engines didn't achieve full thrust to reach our target orbit.

NG-4 preparations continue—updates coming soon.

This is getting out of hand.  Now there are two of them!

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Let’s go! We’re all in!

We’re all in!

Our Blue Moon MK2 team recently completed its third pressurized suit test campaign with @NASA_Johnson's Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS), as part of NASA Artemis missions. Since our May tests at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL), we revised hardware based on crew feedback. With ARGOS, we tested these improvements under more challenging conditions by simulating multiple landing angles on uneven lunar terrain. NASA astronauts demonstrated that our lander's hardware enables crew to move themselves and cargo between the lander and the surface, as well as rescue incapacitated crew members. The tests also provided invaluable feedback to streamline surface operations.

The Blue Moon MK1 flight vehicle that will land near Shackleton crater. We’ll soon be doing fully integrated checkout tests. At over 26 feet tall (8 meters), it’s smaller than our MK2 human lander but larger than the historic Apollo lander.

iterative design New Glenn implies Newer Glenns, with each Glenn being the Newest.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Starting with NG-3, we will phase in a series of upgrades to the New Glenn launch system designed to increase payload performance, launch cadence, and enhance reliability. Read more: https://t.co/7kAvogzmey

BOOSTER TOUCHDOWN! New Glenn returns to its blue origin.

[Dave Limp @davill]

Congrats Jared! We look forward to working with you.

Meet our second booster, with all modules mated: “Never Tell Me The Odds.” I think the odds of landing this booster are a lot better than 3,720-to-1. Both strakes are in place, and BE-4 installation is well underway.  Great job by the team as we continue getting our second booster ready for launch.
