CAPE CANAVERAL (VIN Blue Origin’s massive New Glenn rocket exploded Thursday night during a hotfire test on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, the company confirmed.

There were no injuries reported in the incident.

“We experienced an anomaly during today’s hotfire test,” Blue Origin said in a statement. “All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.”

The explosion occurred on the launch pad during what is known as a static fire test, in which the rocket’s engines are ignited while the vehicle remains anchored to the ground. New Glenn, Blue Origin’s heavy-lift orbital rocket, has been in development for years as the company’s primary competitor to SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy and Starship vehicles.

No additional details were immediately available on the cause of the anomaly or the extent of damage to the rocket or launch infrastructure. Blue Origin has not released a timeline for when it might resume testing.

The New Glenn program has faced multiple delays since its announcement. The rocket is designed to carry up to 45 metric tons to low Earth orbit and is intended for both commercial and national security payloads.
