FAA Concludes Investigation into Blue Origin Rocket Failure, Calls for Corrective Actions

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has closed its investigation into the failed launch of Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle in September 2022. The mishap was caused by the structural failure of an engine nozzle due to higher than expected engine operating temperatures. The FAA has identified 21 corrective actions that Blue Origin must complete before resuming flights, including a redesign of engine and nozzle components. The company has not provided details on implementing these actions but plans to fly soon. The FAA will issue a modified launch license once the company demonstrates the implementation of recommendations related to public safety.
