Blue Origin announced plans to add two New Glenn launch pads in Florida, alongside two already under construction at Cape Canaveral. The company also plans a manufacturing facility capable of producing up to 150 upper stages a year for a larger New Glenn variant.

The expansion includes two additional landing ships and a customer integration facility with four payload bays, built with the US Space Force. Blue Origin aims to support multiple flights per week by the end of the decade; it has launched to orbit twice.
