Blue Origin reached a critical milestone in the development of a new rocket engine.
The private space company says it completed over 100 tests of the BE-4 engine, and testing will continue here in Central Florida.
The BE-4 engine – developed by Blue Origin – is the leading candidate for United Launch Alliances Vulcan-class rockets. Those rockets will take cargo to orbit.
Earlier this month, Blue Origins founder Jeff Bezos announced the building of an engine test facility at Cape Canaveral.
