The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has granted Blue Origin approval to resume flights of its New Glenn heavy-lift rocket, following a grounding due to an April launch failure. The incident, caused by "abnormal thermal conditions" in the rocket's upper stage, resulted in the loss of an AST SpaceMobile satellite. Despite the setback, Blue Origin successfully reused and landed the New Glenn booster.
Blue Origin has completed corrective actions and submitted an incident report to the FAA, though specific adjustments were not disclosed. With regulatory approval, Blue Origin is set to proceed with its planned launch schedule, aiming for up to 12 launches by the end of 2026. The company continues to focus on validating the reusability of its launch vehicles.
