Blue Origin’s New Glenn orbital rocket remains grounded following the May 28 static-fire explosion at Launch Complex 36 that destroyed a first-stage booster and heavily damaged the pad infrastructure. Repairs, engine-valve investigations, and regulatory reviews have pushed the targeted return-to-flight window to December 2026 or later, leaving no orbital or suborbital missions scheduled through the end of October. New Shepard crewed flights continue on a separate cadence without recent anomalies. While an unforeseen test or accelerated pad certification could theoretically occur, the combination of physical damage, engineering qualification work, and typical FAA oversight timelines makes a launch attempt—and therefore an in-flight or ground explosion—highly improbable before month-end.
