Blue Origin Expands Florida Launch Facilities for New Glenn Rocket

Blue Origin has announced a major expansion of its Florida launch facilities to support the New Glenn rocket. The company will add two additional launch pads at Cape Canaveral, in addition to two already under construction. A new manufacturing facility will produce upper stages for a larger variant of the New Glenn rocket. Blue Origin will also procure two additional landing ships to catch and return the first stage of the rocket. A new customer integration facility, built in conjunction with the US Space Force, will feature four payload bays to process multiple missions at the same time. This expansion aims to increase launch frequency and efficiency.
