Blue Origin's CEO Dave Limp announced on X that the second flight of the New Glenn rocket has been delayed until at least mid-August, moving away from the previously planned 'late spring' timeline. The first launch occurred on January 16, succeeded in reaching orbit with its upper stage, but ended in failure when the booster stage exploded during its attempt to land on a drone ship. Following the FAA's investigation, Blue Origin identified seven corrective actions that must be addressed, with plans for the next launch no earlier than August 15.
