It holds a $3.4B NASA HLS lunar-lander award (Blue Moon Mk1 and Mk2, plus two crewed LTV delivery missions at $234M each), sells BE-4 engines to ULA, has an Amazon Kuiper launch backlog, and unveiled the Quartz global ground network (August 2026). Its brutal 2026 (booster reuse achieved and pad destroyed within six weeks) leaves a return-to-flight targeted within the year; revenue is undisclosed (estimated 100-500m+).","sub_category":"Heavy & medium","signals_total":356,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/blue-origin","title":"Blue Origin · space, Kent, Washington, United States · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Blue Origin develops and operates the New Glenn heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle, with booster recovery, and is expanding its launch infrastructure.
