Blue Origin Expansion

June 30, 2022 – Blue Origin already has a major presence on Merritt Island at Exploration Park located in Kennedy Space Center and an expansion into a “South Campus” is underway that will add 90-acres to the complex. Nearly doubling the Blue Origin lease, the facility will establish programs complimentary to the original facility, which will build 270- and 313 foot variants of New Glenn rockets.

About 10 miles away from these facilities, Blue Origin is also ramping up work at Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 36, which is leased from the Air Force. New Glenn rockets will eventually be transported from the KSC campuses to LC-36 for liftoff, but launch control for missions will be handled from the top floor of the New Glenn factory itself.
