We're not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn. We're moving to a horizontal/vertical hybrid configuration to get us flying again this year at 36A. We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in the Integration Facility (IF). Then we bring the integrated vehicle out to the pad, use a crane to perform the vertical breakover, and mate the payload once New Glenn is vertical. This new ConOps has the added benefit of increasing our flight cadence as well.

Let’s go! We’re all in!
President Trump gave the world the Artemis Program, and NASA and our partners have the plan to deliver. We will standardize architecture where possible, add missions and accelerate flight rate, execute in an evolutionary way, and safely return American astronauts to the Moon, this time to stay.
This is the NASA that once changed the world. This is the NASA that will do it again.

Congrats Team Blue! After a few days I’m still blown away at how impressive of an accomplishment this mission was.
The road to space is only just beginning to be paved - I’m looking forward to the long journey ahead.
From blue skies to the red horizons of Mars
On Nov. 13, New Glenn launched @NASA’s ESCAPADE mission and landed its fully reusable first stage on Jacklyn in the Atlantic.

The second chapter of New Glenn’s story begins tonight at LC-36. Our NG-2 launch vehicle has arrived at the pad for integrated vehicle hotfire.

Meet our second booster, with all modules mated: “Never Tell Me The Odds.” I think the odds of landing this booster are a lot better than 3,720-to-1. Both strakes are in place, and BE-4 installation is well underway. Great job by the team as we continue getting our second booster ready for launch.
Got to be only 1.3 miles from the landing zones for last night’s @SpaceX #FalconHeavy #EchoStar24 launch. Incredible power and precision.

An emotional realization ❤️
Spencer Levin visits children at Teletón Institute in Santiago, Chile and is reminded to never take health for granted.

Hmm…. What do suppose is going on at the rocket factory this morning with that first flight #Vulcan booster? I’ll give you a hint. The #ULARocketShip is down the road at the dock with her cargo door open…#CountdownToVulcan

When I say this was the roughest flight of my career so far, I mean it. I have never seen the bunks come out like that. There was coffee everywhere. I have never felt such lateral motion.
Aboard Kermit (#NOAA42) this morning into Hurricane #Ian. Please stay safe out there.
