Bezos said Blue Origin will also build a production facility to manufacture a reusable fleet of orbital launchers and ready them for repeat flights. Blue Origin is locating vehicle assembly near its launch site to simplify processing and transporting the rockets. The company did not release specifics about the rocket\u2019s capabilities, though Bezos said more details would be forthcoming in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new orbital vehicle uses our BE-4 engines [and] it uses our BE-3 engines. We are very excited. It\u2019s vertical Take-Off, Vertical Landing (VTVL); it\u2019s an architecture that we have a lot of experience with from our New Shepard program. It\u2019s a great architecture because it scales to unusually large size. It\u2019s a fully reusable booster stage, and next year I\u2019m going to share a lot more details with you about that vehicle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Origin also plans to conduct acceptance testing of the BE-4 engine at its Florida location.
