Blue Origin Opens Rocket Engine Manufacturing Plant
HUNTSVILLE, AL — Blue Origin, the rocket company started and led by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, has opened a new rocket engine manufacturing plant here.
Blue Origin built the plant after winning a competition to provide the main engines for a new rocket called Vulcan Centaur that United Launch Alliance (ULA) is building in nearby Decatur, Alabama. The rocket will compete for satellite launches by commercial companies and the Air Force.
