Blue Origin to test rocket at NASA Stennis

Blue Origin is making its return to Stennis Space Center as the company plans to test its new Glenn Rocket at the B2 test stand.

In a statement on Friday, Senator Roger Wicker called the NASA Blue Origin partnership the latest instance of Stennis Space Center’s embrace of commercial space innovation.

Testing is expected to begin in the fall, directly supporting NASA’s work to send American astronauts back to the moon to build a moon base and prepare for human missions to Mars.
