Blue Origin has submitted a proposal to operate two launch pads at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, targeting increased launch frequency for its New Glenn rocket.
The plan outlines modifications to existing infrastructure or the construction of new facilities to enable simultaneous operations, allowing multiple launches per year.
The proposal was detailed in a filing with the Federal Aviation Administration and reported by NASASpaceflight. The company says the dual‑pad configuration would reduce turnaround time between missions and support its goal of frequent orbital launches. The FAA will review the plan, and if approved, the dual‑pad capability could begin supporting launches as early as 2027.
