Blue Origin Cleared To Launch New Glenn Rocket Again After FAA Investigation

The FAA has lifted the grounding of Blue Origin’s New Glenn after reviewing the company’s report and corrective actions.

The decision follows a mission failure in which the rocket’s upper stage did not place its payload into the intended orbit because of a cryogenic leak and thrust anomaly.

Blue Origin can now move ahead with New Glenn’s next launch, clearing a key hurdle after the federal investigation.

The clearance is especially important as the company works to recover momentum after the third-flight setback.
