Blue Origin’s next launch now won’t happen until 2027

蓝色起源（Blue Origin）的下一次发射现已推迟至 2027 年。

Blue Origin plans to do its next New Glenn rocket launch in January 2027, according to CNBC and the Financial Times, which cite a memo from CEO Dave Limp sent to staff. The new timeline follows a May launchpad explosion that damaged Blue Origin’s New Glenn launchpad ahead of a flight that would have brought Amazon Leo satellites into space.

据 CNBC 和《金融时报》援引首席执行官戴夫·林普（Dave Limp）发给员工的备忘录报道，蓝色起源计划在 2027 年 1 月进行下一次“新格伦”（New Glenn）火箭发射。此前，该公司的发射台在 5 月发生爆炸，损坏了用于执行亚马逊低地球轨道（LEO）卫星发射任务的设施，此次新的时间表正是受此影响。

In October, Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos told Fox News that the company was aiming for a December New Glenn launch, joking that it could be “probably December 31st.” The new, revised launch window is “about 10 days later than Blue Origin’s earlier launch target,” CNBC reports. Limp also reportedly cited bad weather as having an effect on the launchpad rebuilding process.

今年 10 月，蓝色起源创始人杰夫·贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）曾告诉福克斯新闻，公司目标是在 12 月进行“新格伦”火箭的发射，并开玩笑说“可能是 12 月 31 日”。据 CNBC 报道，新的修订后发射窗口“比蓝色起源之前的目标晚了约 10 天”。据称，林普还提到恶劣天气影响了发射台的重建进度。

“This small adjustment doesn’t diminish what we’ve accomplished or the importance of the work still ahead,” Limp wrote in his memo, per CNBC and the FT. “Returning New Glenn to flight remains our top priority — it’s worth it.”

据 CNBC 和《金融时报》报道，林普在备忘录中写道：“这一小小的调整并不会削弱我们已经取得的成就，也不会降低未来工作的重要性。让‘新格伦’重返飞行轨道仍然是我们的首要任务——这是值得的。”
