Summary
$330 million in planned Florida upgrades will add two New Glenn launch-and-landing pads and expand Blue Origin’s Cape Canaveral Rocket Park, with completion targeted for summer 2027.
The expansion is meant to lift launch cadence to multiple flights per week by the end of the decade and raise annual New Glenn upper-stage production to as many as 150.
A new customer integration facility with the U.S. Space Force will let Blue Origin prepare multiple missions at once as it chases commercial and government launch business.
The push comes as Blue Origin works to recover from a May New Glenn launchpad explosion and aims to return the rocket to flight by the end of 2026.
More than $92.5 billion flowed into commercial space in the first three quarters of 2026 as launch capacity tightened, with SpaceX prioritizing Starship and Starlink already topping 11,000 satellites.
