Blue Origin Delays New Glenn Return to January 2027

Cointime update: Blue Origin has pushed the return-to-flight of its New Glenn rocket to January 2027, further delaying a target previously set for late 2026. CEO Dave Limp told employees in an internal memo on Wednesday that the schedule slipped because reconstruction of the launch pad at Cape Canaveral is behind schedule and severe summer weather slowed work. New Glenn exploded during a hot-fire test in May, badly damaging the Florida launch site, and the company has since redesigned the pad configuration.
