Florida Orbital Vehicle Manufacturing Complex
Blue Origin is building a completely new Manufacturing plant 750,000 square foot orbital rocket factory. The manufacturing facility at Cape Canaveral is set to be ready for occupancy by December 2017.
Blue Origin broke ground on its orbital vehicle manufacturing site in Exploration Park, Florida in June 2016
Vehicle manufacturing facility will look like when it’s is completed in December 2017
Custom-built from the ground up to accommodate manufacturing, processing, integration and testing. Among other things, the facility hosts large scale friction stir welding and automated composite processing equipment. All of the vehicle will be manufactured in this facility except for the engines. Initial BE-4 engine production will occur at our Kent facility while we conduct a site selection process later this year for a larger engine production facility to accommodate higher production rates.
Exploration Park is conveniently located nearby Launch Complex 36
