Rocket company announces it plans to let go 10 percent of its workforce.

New Shepard suborbital rocket simulates two minutes of lunar gravity, allowing the space agency and its partners to test out technologies.

Massive rocket successfully makes it to orbit on its inaugural launch, marking a pivotal moment for Jeff Bezos’ spaceflight venture.

Inaugural mission, NG-1, was originally scheduled to launch January 10 but was delayed and ultimately scrubbed when ice formed on one of the power units.

After completing an integrated hotfire test and receiving the all-clear from the FAA, New Glenn is almost ready to fly.

Space agency provides updates on nine of its commercial partners developing the destinations and technology that will maintain a human presence on orbit beyond this decade.

Within the next decade, the agency believes its commercial partners can develop vehicles to land a lunar rover and habitat on the moon.

It would mark the company’s ninth human spaceflight with its New Shepard rocket, which has flown 43 paying customers and guests to the edge of space.

Although beset by delays, the project is moving steadily toward launch.

The companies that jointly operate United Launch Alliance are in talks to sell their rocket business to Sierra Space, according to a report.
