See this month's list » Chief Executive Dave Limp informed employees Wednesday that the launch schedule shifted due to delays in reconstructing the Cape Canaveral launch pad, with bad weather over the summer contributing to the setback, according to a memo cited by CNBC on Thursday. The January 2027 timeframe reportedly represents a delay of approximately 10 days from Blue Origin's earlier launch target. The New Glenn explosion took place during a hot-fire test in May and caused extensive damage to Blue Origin's Florida launchpad. The company had been scheduled to deploy 48 satellites for Amazon's Leo internet-from-space service just days after the incident. Unsure what to buy ahead of earnings?

Jeff Bezos told Fox News last month that the company still expected New Glenn to fly again in December. Limp said the company has made substantial progress on the recovery, noting that "rebuilding at this pace hasn't been easy." The timing of the mishap created complications as Blue Origin works to increase its launch frequency to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX for commercial and government customers. The New Glenn delays have affected Amazon's Leo constellation buildout, which depends on Blue Origin for some of its launches. NASA has awarded Blue Origin several contracts under the agency's Artemis return-to-the-moon program, including a lunar lander. The company announced new investments in its Florida launch facilities last month, aiming to support multiple flights per week by the end of the decade.
