On October 16, 2026 Blue Origin operations chief Ian Richardson said Florida infrastructure is designed to support multiple New Glenn flights a week by the end of the decade. A $330 million Rocket Park expansion, targeted for summer 2027, is meant to produce up to 150 New Glenn 9x4 upper stages a year. The company said it will add two more pads, using the LC-36B construction approach, after investing more than $3 billion in Florida facilities that employ more than 5,000 people.
