Blue Origin Reveals New Hybrid Plan for New Glenn at LC-36

Blue Origin is moving fast to recover from the New Glenn explosion at Launch Complex 36. One month after the incident, cleanup is largely complete, heavy cranes including a Demag CC 8800 have arrived for tower work, and CEO Dave Limp says the company is still targeting a return to flight before the end of the year. This video examines the current state of LC-36, the relocation of flight hardware back to the factory, and the major shift in New Glenn’s concept of operations. Blue Origin is moving away from its original transporter-erector approach to a hybrid horizontal-vertical integration process that uses a standard crane to lift the stacked vehicle onto a new static launch mount. New renders show the booster rotated 90 degrees for better umbilical access, simplified ground support equipment, and added access platforms on the Vehicle Access Tower. We also cover the five-phase return-to-flight plan and what the changes mean for future New Glenn operations. 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from Max Evans, Jerry Pike, D Wise, Space Coast Live, Starbase Live, Jack Beyer, Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
