5/28/26 9:31 PM: An anomaly occurred this evening during a static fire test for Blue Origin. There is no threat to the general public.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 

Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets.

We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.

[Spaceflight Now @SpaceflightNow]

Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

Happy Space Coast Day!

I signed a proclamation for the @CapeCanaveralFL to declare July 24, 2025 as Space Coast Day reflecting on the launch of Bumper 8 and the national implications as it set the stage for the development of the World’s Premier Gateway to Space.

#SpaceCoast #SpaceCoastDay #CapeCanaveral

[Mayor Wes Morrison @WesMorrison]

Keep a close eye on the weather, Cape Canaveral.

At 9:57AM | Tuesday, July 15, US National Weather Service Melbourne Florida @NWSMelbourne issued a Flood Watch that includes Brevard County and Cape Canaveral. Follow their account for official announcements and weather updates.

[NWS Melbourne @NWSMelbourne]

A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of east central Florida through Tuesday evening. Low pressure moving ashore will bring high rain chances (up to 90%) and the potential for low-lying, vulnerable, poor-drainage, and urban type flooding.

[Mayor Wes Morrison @WesMorrison]

Happy Independence Day, Cape Canaveral! 🇺🇸

[City of Cape Canaveral - Government @CapeCanaveralFL]
