"Blue Origin's New Glenn and New Shepard: Testing and Return to Flight Updates"

Blue Origin is making progress in its space programs, including the development of the New Glenn rocket and the construction of the Orbital Reef space station. Infrastructure work is underway at the Cape, with the vertical assembly building and the Reef Pathfinder building being constructed. Blue Origin has also resumed fairing drop tests and has been conducting tests on New Glenn upper stage and first stage tanks. The company's BE-4 engine performed well in a test for United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket. Additionally, Blue Origin won the contract for the Artemis V lander, its largest contract to date, and is preparing to resume operations of its New Shepard suborbital rocket.
