Blue Origin moved into the orbital spaceflight technology development business in 2014, initially as a rocket engine supplier via a contractual agreement to build the BE-4 rocket engine, for major US launch system operator United Launch Alliance (ULA).
The company primarily employs an incremental approach from suborbital to orbital flight, with each developmental step building on its prior work. In November 2006, the first test vehicle was launched, the Goddard rocket, which reached an altitude of 285 feet. In 2006, the company purchased land for its launch site and test facility in Texas. Little is known about the company’s activities in its early years. Rob Meyerson joined Blue Origin in 2003 and served as the company's president before leaving the company in 2018. History īlue Origin was founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, the founder and current executive chairman of Amazon. The company is working on a fourth advanced rocket engine, called the BE-7, which is still under development and when completed, will be used on planetary bodies other than Earth. The company has three engines in production including the BE-3U, BE-3PM and BE-4. The company was selected as the second provider for lunar lander services for NASA's Artemis program and was awarded a $3.4 billion contract. The company also manufactures rockets, spacecrafts and heavy-lift launch vehicles. Blue Origin makes rocket engines for the United Launch Alliance and other customers.
