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.
