The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket following a partial failure during its third mission, NG-3, launched Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. An upper-stage engine issue prevented the BlueBird 7 satellite from reaching its target 285-mile orbit, achieving only about 95 miles. This incident, the second grounding for the rocket, will halt flights pending investigation.
Blue Origin chief executive Dave Limp said the company will launch its New Glenn rocket again before the end of 2026 after an explosion at its Florida site last week.

Blue Origin achieved a milestone by successfully landing and reusing the first stage of its New Glenn rocket for the third flight, but the upper stage failed to place its payload into the correct orbit. The launch occurred Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The booster, named Never Tell Me The Odds, touched down on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean after its second flight.
Bavarian space company Isar Aerospace cancelled its latest test flight attempt of the Spectrum carrier rocket from Norway's Andøya spaceport on Thursday, suspecting a leak in a pressure container. This follows an abort on March 25 due to a safety issue. CEO Daniel Metzler promised another attempt soon.
