Jeff Bezos'
Blue Origin said
Tuesday that last week's rocket explosion spared fuel tanks and some other
critical parts of the launch pad.
Critical
to NASA's Artemis moon program, the company's massive New Glenn rocket blew up
during an engine-firing test at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. A lightning
tower and the transporter-erector used to move and hoist the rocket were
destroyed in the blast that sent shock waves across the state.
CEO
Dave Limp said the methane, hydrogen and oxygen tanks look to be in good shape.
The water tank is also fine and the support tower that's still standing can be
repaired in place. A booster and other rocket parts housed nearby were not
damaged.
Overall,
this was "a bit of good news," Limp said in an X update, adding:
"We will fly again before the end of this year."
The
cause is still under investigation.
Just
two days before the accident, NASA awarded a contract worth hundreds
of millions of dollars to Blue Origin, choosing New Glenn rockets to launch a
pair of rovers to the moon ahead of the arrival of the first Artemis
moonwalkers who will drive them. New Glenn also is needed to launch the company's
Blue Moon lander that will be used to get astronauts to the lunar surface in
the coming years.
NASA is
aiming for as early as 2028 for the first moon landing by astronauts since
Apollo 17 in 1972.
The
space agency will "do all we can" to get the pad back in action as
soon as possible "while staying extremely focused on progressing the
lander," Administrator Jared Isaacman said via X.
Blue
Origin's New Glenn line of reusable rockets — named after John Glenn, the first
American in orbit — has launched only three times. It's not nearly as big as
SpaceX's Starship that is making test flights to the fringes of space from
Texas. NASA has ordered up Starships, in addition to Blue Moon landers, to get
Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface in the years ahead.
