A catastrophic explosion during a static fire test of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on May 28, 2026, destroyed the vehicle and severely damaged Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral—the company’s sole operational pad—driving the 82% market-implied probability against any launch this year. The incident followed three prior flights, including NG-3 in April, but left extensive structural harm, including to lightning towers, with independent assessments projecting 12–18 months or longer for repairs. Blue Origin’s CEO has targeted a return-to-flight before year-end, yet analysts cite the complexity of rebuilding a heavy-lift facility and historical precedents for such recoveries as key factors behind trader consensus favoring delay into 2027 or beyond.
