Blue Origin targets November return to flight for New Glenn as the rebuilt LC-36 tower stands again
From the Space digest for Oct 29, 2026
What happened: SatNews reports Blue Origin has reconstructed the Launch Complex 36 vehicle access tower at Cape Canaveral and is preparing to resume New Glenn flight operations as early as November 2026.
What's genuinely new: The return-to-flight target has moved and firmed — from the December 28, 2026 date in an air-traffic advisory to, most recently, a "first half of December" pad-ready timeline — to a named November 2026 start for flight operations, with the tower reconstruction complete as the enabling step.
Watch: Whether a November launch actually happens, the LC-36A pad-activation date, and how the return sits against Blue Origin's pledge to fly New Glenn again before the end of 2026.
