This September, Blue Origin announced they will be leasing one of NASA’s Cape Canaveral launch pads for their upcoming rocket launches. Blue Origin will join the growing list of commercial spaceflight companies co-habiting Kennedy Space Center, most notably SpaceX and Boeing. Blue Origin will launch their partially-reusable rockets from the Space Launch Complex 36, located in Cape Canaveral. Historically, this complex was home to Atlas rocket launches for over 40 years.

In addition to launching from the Space Coast, Blue Origin has also announced plans to build new rockets and process reused ones locally. While no definitive timeline for their activity has been announced, Blue Origin says that residents can expect to see their launches within the next decade.
