None of the workers were injured, but the cause of the incident is still unknown. This is a new blow to the project, which previously faced problems in April due to the failed delivery of a satellite into orbit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ai-tldr\">\n<h2>Briefly about the main points<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The New Glenn rocket exploded during a ground test on 28 May in Florida.<\/li>\n<li>All Blue Origin employees are safe and the cause of the incident is being investigated.<\/li>\n<li>The previous launch of New Glenn in April failed to deliver the satellite into orbit.<\/li>\n<li>NASA is supporting the investigation and assessing the possible impact on Artemis programmes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Incident during the New Glenn ground test<\/h2>\n<p>28 May in the evening at the cosmodrome <strong>Cape Canaveral Space Force Station<\/strong> in Florida during a ground-based \u201chot\u201d test of a missile <strong>New Glenn<\/strong> exploded. Video from the scene captured the explosion on the launch pad. All Blue Origin employees, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/blueorigin\/status\/2060172114796204539?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">messages<\/a> founder <strong>Jeff Bezos<\/strong>, The victims of the attack remained safe, and the investigation into the cause has already begun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Fb7qKyGB864\"><iframe title=\"Moment Blue Origin rocket explodes during test in Florida\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fb7qKyGB864?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The US Federal Aviation Administration (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FAA<\/a>) confirmed that the test was not within the scope of Blue Origin's licensed activities and did not affect air traffic. This indicates that the incident was localised and did not pose a threat to the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Previous challenges of the New Glenn programme<\/h2>\n<p>This is not the first time that the New Glenn rocket has had problems. During the third flight in April, the rocket successfully landed the first stage on an offshore platform, but the upper stage failed to launch the AST SpaceMobile BlueBird 7 satellite into orbit. The FAA then launched an investigation, and Blue Origin announced plans to return to flight.<\/p>\n<p>The second launch of New Glenn in November 2025 was a success, including the safe landing of the first stage and the launch of the NASA Escapade spacecraft. Nevertheless, the problems with cargo delivery in April were a significant blow to the company.<\/p>\n<h2>NASA's response and future prospects<\/h2>\n<p>Head of NASA <strong>Jared Isaacman<\/strong> said that the agency is aware of the incident and will work with Blue Origin to fully investigate, assess the impact on future missions and return to launches. NASA supports the development of heavy rocket systems, but recognises the complexity of creating reliable technology.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Origin is simultaneously developing a lunar lander for <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/science-tech\/artemis-ii-zavershyv-oblit-misjatsja\/\">Artemis applications<\/a>, with ambitions to organise a human landing on the Moon. However, the uncertainty of the new New Glenn launches and the latest explosion may slow down these plans. US Secretary of Transport and acting NASA Administrator <strong>Sean Duffy<\/strong> has previously expressed his readiness to support any company that can complete the task on time, hinting at competition between Blue Origin and SpaceX.<\/p>\n<h2>Significance for the space industry<\/h2>\n<p>The New Glenn incident highlights the complexity of creating reusable rocket systems and the competition in the US space industry. Blue Origin is trying to reduce the cost of launches by reusing stages, but repeated failures could affect its market position. An investigation into the explosion will help identify technical issues and adjust next steps to resume launches.<\/p>\n<p>While the company is working to address the consequences of the accident, the industry is closely monitoring developments, as the success of the New Glenn is important for future space missions and US strategic plans.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043d\u0430\u0437\u0435\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443 \u0440\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0430 New Glenn \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 Blue Origin \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043c\u0430\u0439\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0447\u0438\u043a\u0443 \u0443 \u0424\u043b\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0456. \u0416\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043d \u0456\u0437 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0432\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0436\u0434\u0430\u0432, \u0430\u043b\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0456\u043d\u0446\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u0430. \u0426\u0435 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0439 \u0443\u0434\u0430\u0440 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0454\u043a\u0442\u0443, \u044f\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0448\u0435 \u0437\u0456\u0442\u043a\u043d\u0443\u0432\u0441\u044f \u0437 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043b\u0435\u043c\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0443 \u043a\u0432\u0456\u0442\u043d\u0456 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0434\u0430\u043b\u0443 \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u0441\u0443\u043f\u0443\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u0432 \u043e\u0440\u0431\u0456\u0442\u0443. \u041a\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u043e \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0435 \u0420\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0430 New Glenn \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043d\u0430\u0437\u0435\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":21191,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0420\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0430 New Glenn \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u043d\u0430\u0437\u0435\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443 Blue Origin \u0443 \u0424\u043b\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0456, \u0432\u0441\u0456 \u0441\u043f\u0456\u0432\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0456\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u0432 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0435\u0446\u0456, \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043f\u043e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0441\u043b\u0456\u0434\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f.","rank_math_title":"\u0420\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u0430 New Glenn \u0432\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0445\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0443 Blue Origin","rank_math_focus_keyword":"New Glenn","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805620],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science-tech"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21192"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21194,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21192\/revisions\/21194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
