Project Overview
Blue Origin is constructing a new 750,000 SF orbital rocket manufacturing plant with the goal of manufacturing and launching its “New Glen” orbital rocket in 2020. This rocket factory is custom-built from the ground up to accommodate manufacturing, processing, integration, and testing. Among other things, the facility hosts large-scale friction stir welding and automated composite processing equipment. The entire vehicle will be manufactured in this facility except for the engines.
The facility is located in Exploration Park, a 299-acre site positioned adjacent to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), approximately 50 miles east of Orlando. Exploration Park was developed by Space Florida, the state’s aerospace economic development agency, in partnership with KSC.
