The company had announced its New Glenn rocket’s return to flight earlier this week after a second stage failure during the vehicle’s third flight last month.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the pad during a hotfire test on May 28, days after the company announced return-to-flight following April's upper-stage failure. Back-to-back setbacks put New Glenn's reliability in question and delay contracted payloads further.
A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket experienced an anomaly during a ground test known as a hotfire Thursday, the company shared on X.
“Anomaly” in spaceflight parlance often refers to a mishap or explosion. Video captured from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida Thursday evening appears to show a rocket exploding on its launchpad.
