杰夫·贝索斯的蓝色起源公司周五表示,计划对其佛罗里达州发射设施进行大规模升级,目标是到十年末支持每周多次发射。
Jeff Bezos ' Blue Origin said Friday it plans to make extensive upgrades to its Florida launch facilities with the goal of supporting multiple flights per week by the end of the decade.
该公司将为其重型部分可回收火箭新格伦(New Glenn)再增设两个发射和着陆垫。位于卡纳维拉尔角的火箭园区(Rocket Park)校园将进行3.3亿美元的扩建,预计将于2027年夏季完工,届时将使其年产新格伦火箭上级的能力提升至150级,蓝色起源公司在一篇博客文章中表示:“这些投资围绕一个目标展开:建设支持更多任务、更可靠、更高效的能力。”
The company will add two more launch and landing pads for New Glenn, its heavy-lift, partially reusable rocket. A $330 million expansion to its Rocket Park campus in Cape Canaveral, expected to be complete in the summer of 2027, will enable it to produce up to 150 upper stages of its New Glenn rocket annually, Blue Origin said in a blog post "These investments are centered on one goal: building the capacity to support more missions, more reliably, and more efficiently," Ian Richardson, Blue Origin's senior vice president of operations, wrote in the post.
蓝色起源公司运营高级副总裁伊恩·理查森在文章中写道。“展望未来,这一基础设施的设计目标是到十年末支持每周多次发射。”蓝色起源公司正在努力提升发射频率,以与其主要竞争对手埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX争夺商业和政府客户。
"As we look ahead, this infrastructure is designed to support multiple flights per week by the end of the decade." Blue Origin is working to ramp up its launch cadence as it vies to compete with its chief rival, Elon Musk SpaceX for commercial and government customers.
蓝色起源公司首席执行官戴夫·林普上个月告诉CNBC的摩根·布伦南,该公司首次外部融资轮“已超额认购”。据《华尔街日报》报道,该公司为此轮融资筹集了100亿美元,估值达到1400亿美元。
Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp told CNBC's Morgan Brennan last month that the company's first outside funding round is "oversubscribed." The company had raised $10 billion for the round, valuing it at $140 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported.
该公司也正从5月的一次挫折中恢复过来,当时其一枚新格伦火箭在发射台爆炸。正积极修复发射台,目标是在2026年底前让新格伦重返飞行。
The company is also recovering from a setback in May, when one of its New Glenn rockets exploded on the launchpad. has been aggressively restoring the launchpad with a goal of returning New Glenn to flight by the end of 2026.
作为升级的一部分,蓝色起源公司表示,它正在卡纳维拉尔角空军基地与美国太空军共建一个新的客户集成设施,该设施投入运行后将使其能够“同时准备多项任务”。
As part of the upgrades, Blue Origin said it's building a new customer integration facility with the U.S. Space Force at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station that will enable it to "prepare multiple missions at once" when it's up and running.
蓝色起源公司在佛罗里达州的基础设施和设施上已投入超过30亿美元,如今覆盖该州布雷沃德县和奥兰治县的20多个地点,员工超过5000人,理查森说道。
Blue Origin has invested more than $3 billion in its infrastructure and facilities in Florida, which now spans more than 20 sites across the state's Brevard and Orange counties, with more than 5,000 employees, Richardson said.
航天工业也正面临发射能力短缺的问题,因为SpaceX已停止在其主力火箭猎鹰9号上提供商业搭乘服务,以优先发展其巨型星舰火箭。这引发了一波投资热潮,根据本周风险投资公司Space Capital发布的一份报告,2026年前三季度商业航天领域已投入925亿美元。蓝色起源、SpaceX及其他火箭供应商正看到来自试图将卫星送入轨道的公司和政府的需求日益增加。
The space industry is also grappling with a launch capacity shortage, as SpaceX has stopped offering commercial rides on its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket to prioritize its massive Starship rocket. That's spurred a flurry of investment, with $92.5 billion invested in the commercial space sector in the first three quarters of 2026, according to a report this week by venture capital firm Space Capital Blue Origin, SpaceX and other rocket providers are seeing increasing demand from companies and governments trying to deploy satellites into orbit.
