Blue Origin has introduced a new initiative called NEO Hunter, aimed at safeguarding Earth from potentially dangerous near-Earth objects (NEOs) using a combination of innovative deflection techniques. This concept was developed in partnership with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Caltech and builds on the capabilities of the company’s Blue Ring platform. The NEO Hunter […]

Blue Origin has introduced TeraWave, a groundbreaking satellite communications network anticipated to offer symmetrical data speeds reaching up to 6 terabits per second (Tbps). This capability significantly surpasses existing consumer satellite broadband services and positions TeraWave as a high-performance alternative aimed primarily at enterprise, government, and data center markets rather than the general consumer segment. […]

Blue Origin is preparing for the upcoming launch of its heavy-lift New Glenn rocket, which is scheduled to take off from Florida on Sunday, November 9, at 2:45 PM EST. This mission, designated “NG-2,” will carry two twin spacecraft bound for Mars. The liftoff will occur at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station from Launch Complex […]

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket has successfully completed an important hotfire test of its seven BE-4 engines, lasting 38 seconds, paving the way for the launch of the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission to Mars. The company is aiming for the second flight of its heavy-lift, partially reusable rocket to take […]

This week marks an ambitious launching schedule featuring nine space missions using seven different rockets, underscoring a bustling period in the aerospace sector. Among the highlight launches is the second flight of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, along with three missions from SpaceX involving the Falcon 9 rocket. The array of launches includes vehicles such […]

NASA’s Acting Administrator, Sean Duffy, announced that the agency is reopening the bidding process for the first American crewed lunar landing in over five decades, encouraging submissions from companies beyond SpaceX’s Starship. This strategic decision is aimed at expediting the Artemis III mission, ensuring that U.S. astronauts set foot on the Moon prior to China’s […]
