"We Are Team Blue": Looking Ahead to 2025 | Blue Origin

At Blue Origin, "our genuine passion for space exploration is reflected in our work. We are looking for individuals who share this passion and wish to turn their careers into a calling. Together, we are shaping the future of space, and we seek dedicated and inspired people to join us."

Blue Origin's advanced heavy-lift vehicle, the New Glenn Rocket, will support NASA Artemis Moon Missions. 

New Glenn is named after former NASA astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. The rocket stands more than 320 feet (98 meters) high—roughly the height of a 30-story building—and features a seven-meter payload fairing, enabling twice the volume of standard five-meter class commercial launch systems. The fairing is large enough to hold three school buses. Its reusable first stage aims for a minimum of 25 missions and will land on a sea-based platform located roughly 620 miles (1,000 km) downrange. Reusability is integral to radically reducing cost-per-launch. 

The vehicle is powered by seven of Blue Origin’s BE-4 engines, the most powerful liquid oxygen (LOX)/liquefied natural gas (LNG) engine developed since Saturn V’s F1 engines. LNG is cleaner-burning and higher-performing than kerosene-based fuels. 

Blue Origin has several New Glenn vehicles in production and a full customer manifest. Customers include NASA, Project Kuiper, Telesat, and Eutelsat, among others.
