The company said it suffered an anomaly during the hotfire; Cape Canaveral Space Force Station confirmed all personnel were accounted for with no injuries or fatalities.\n\nThe blast comes just six days after the FAA cleared the heavy-lift, reusable rocket to return to flight following an April upper-stage cryogenic failure that lost an AST SpaceMobile satellite. The fourth mission was set to be the first of 24 launches Blue Origin is contracted to fly for Amazon's Leo satellite-internet network, a planned rival to SpaceX Starlink.\n\nSLC-36 is the only pad built for New Glenn and must be repaired before flights resume. Jeff Bezos wrote on X that it is too early to know the root cause but teams are already investigating: \"Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying.\""}}
