Congrats to the @NASAArtemis III crew! Blue Origin is excited to be part of the journey of returning humans to the Moon. Next stop: LEO!
Introducing your Artemis III crew: NASA astronauts @AstroKomrade, @Astro_AndreD, and Frank Rubio and @ESA astronaut @Astro_Luca.

One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. @NASA and @USSpaceForce have both been extremely helpful.
This team. Never tell them the odds.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.

Inspiring. Thanks for all your support. We will return to flight as soon as possible!
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

Exciting mission coming up! NG-4 will launch the most satellites at one time for @AmazonLeo in our 7-meter New Glenn fairing. Couldn't be prouder to support the Leo team on this mission.

🚀 Launch Alert | New Glenn's fourth launch will send 48 @AmazonLeo satellites into low Earth orbit as part of their growing broadband constellation. More details to come soon.

Since the beginning, Blue Origin has been committed to Lunar Permanence. Thank you, @NASAadmin, for sharing that vision. We're ready to make it a reality.
“Congratulations @BlueOrigin and we are looking forward to this partnership to deliver the first lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) as part of @NASAMoonBase program.”
Moon Base program executive Carlos García-Galán congratulates the recipient of the LTV delivery award.

Thank you to @FAANews, @USSpaceForce, and our customers for their support throughout this process.

The FAA has approved our NG-3 report, and corrective measures have been implemented. Prior to our second GS2 burn, we experienced an off-nominal thermal condition, and, as a result, one of the BE-3U engines didn't achieve full thrust to reach our target orbit.
NG-4 preparations continue—updates coming soon.

Great to see these industry leaders excited about and pushing forward on space-based connectivity. This will expand coverage to so many, globally. Excited to support this effort.

Our Mars Telecommunications Network solution accommodates the proven Electra UHF radio with no modifications. Because we can operate Electra in a lower orbit, we're uniquely positioned to meet the essential need for reliable UHF relay from assets on the Martian surface or in the Martian atmosphere. That matters for ongoing missions like the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers, and also for future missions like Skyfall that need reliable communication with Earth without requiring unrealistically high power or high-precision antenna pointing.

Demonstrating VIPER's path from lander to lunar surface 🌕
We completed a critical demonstration of our offloader mechanism, using rotating arms and cables to safely lower a VIPER mass simulator from the top of Blue Moon MK1's forward module to the lunar surface.
Key achievements included:
✅ Full deployment sequence with davit arms under load
✅ Winch cable system maintaining robust control throughout the full lowering sequence
✅ Performance across roll and pitch slopes up to 10°
✅ Clearances and mechanical interfaces
Next up: critical design review and further development testing.

Why do a little science when you can do a lot of science? Our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, based on our existing Blue Ring vehicle, meets the urgent need for communications, navigation, and relay while also flying up to 500 kg of science instruments to Mars. With this capacity, we can deploy two ESCAPADE-class spacecraft from our orbiter or 10 CubeSats and still host onboard instruments like a comprehensive science package to monitor the Martian atmosphere’s interaction with the solar wind.
