Recently, Blue Origin has completed several milestones in its programs, as it inches closer to a debut flight of its New Glenn rocket. The successful BE-4 firings below the Vulcan rocket, modifications on pad and infrastructure, and winning the contract for the Artemis V lander have put Blue Origin in a better position than their previous situation, with a delayed rocket and a struggle to secure contracts. Ongoing efforts also include the possibility of a fully-reusable New Glenn.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Work on the vertical assembly building and the Reef Pathfinder building has progressed over the last few months. The Reef Pathfinder building is related to the assembly and work on Blue Origin\u2019s Orbital Reef space station and is located on the company\u2019s campus at the Cape.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
