内容总结:
蓝色起源公司“新格伦”火箭的发射推迟将持续至2027年。今年早些时候,该火箭在佛罗里达州发射台进行热试车时发生爆炸,导致公司基础设施严重受损,后续活动被迫中断。事发后,公司首席执行官戴夫·林普曾表示维修工作将很快完成,下一次发射有望在年底前进行。然而,据林普发出的内部备忘录显示,这一时间表已被推迟,下一次发射预计最早要到2027年1月才能实施。备忘录指出,发射台的飞行器通行塔已完成修复并重新组装,发射桥也已恢复。林普将维修进度慢于预期归因于天气因素,并称赞团队在短短六个月内完成了许多人认为需要数年才能完成的工作。蓝色起源公司由杰夫·贝索斯拥有,一旦获准恢复发射,该公司将在航天领域大幅拓展业务版图。今年9月,蓝色起源从美国国家航空航天局获得一份合同,将为火星搭建通信网络。其“新格伦”火箭还将为亚马逊“柯伊伯”卫星宽带服务运送更多设备入轨。

蓝色起源的新格伦火箭发射将推迟至2027年
今年早些时候发生爆炸后,维修工作进展缓慢。
蓝色起源今年早些时候曾引发广泛关注——2026年5月,一枚新格伦火箭在发射台上发生爆炸。此次热测试中的事故对该公司位于佛罗里达州的基础设施造成了严重损坏,导致其后续活动被迫推迟。事故发生后不久,蓝色起源首席执行官曾表示维修工作将很快完成,下一次发射将在年底前进行。然而,根据首席执行官戴夫·林普的一份内部备忘录,这一时间表已被推迟。下一次火箭发射预计要到2027年1月才能进行。《金融时报》率先报道了这一进展。
备忘录显示,发射台的载具通道塔已完成修复并重新组装,发射桥也已恢复。林普将修复进度慢于预期归因于天气问题。他写道:“你们在重返飞行任务中的集体努力堪称非凡。短短六个月里,蓝色团队完成了许多人认为需要数年才能完成的工作。”
这家由杰夫·贝索斯拥有的公司一旦再次获准发射,就将在太空领域显著扩大其版图。蓝色起源9月从NASA赢得了一份合同,将为火星搭建通信网络。其新格伦火箭还计划将更多设备送入太空,以支持亚马逊的Leo卫星宽带服务。

Blue Origin's New Glenn launch delay will continue into 2027
Repairs have been slow after an explosion earlier this year.
Blue Origin made waves earlier this year after a New Glenn rocket exploded on its launchpad in May 2026. This issue during a hot-test caused notable damage to the company's infrastructure in Florida that has delayed it from further activity. Shortly after the incident, Blue Origin's CEO claimed that the repairs would be finished quickly and that the next launch would occur before the end of the year. According to an internal memo from CEO Dave Limp, however, that timeline has been pushed back. The next rocket launch is now not expected until January 2027. Financial Times first reported on this development.
The memo suggests that the launchpad's Vehicle Access Tower has been repaired and restacked, and the launch bridge has been restored. Limp credited weather issues for the fixes happening slower than hoped. "Your collective work on our return to flight has been nothing short of remarkable," he wrote. "In just six months, Team Blue has accomplished what many thought would take years."
The company, owned by Jeff Bezos, is on the verge of notably expanding its footprint in space once it is cleared for takeoff again. Blue Origin won a contract from NASA in September to set up a telecommunications network for Mars. Its New Glenn rockets are also slated to bring more gear into space to support Amazon's Leo satellite broadband service.
