Blue Origin Engines
Rocket Engines Designed for Reuse
Blue Origin Engines
Our Approach to Engines
Operationally reusable rockets demand high-performance engines capable of deep throttling for soft landings. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.
Blue Origin engines are designed and developed at our headquarters in Kent, WA. We produce the BE-4, BE-3U, and BE-7 engines in Huntsville, AL. Our engines and propulsion subsystems are thoroughly tested and qualified near Van Horn, TX and at Test Stand 4670 in Huntsville, AL.
Engine
BE-3PM
The BE-3PM was the first new liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket engine to be developed for production in America in over a decade.
Engine
BE-3U
Optimized to operate in the vacuum of space, the BE-3U powers the New Glenn upper stage.
Engine
BE-4
The first oxygen-rich staged combustion engine designed and manufactured in the U.S. powers the next generation of American orbital rockets, including New Glenn.
Engine
BE-7
BE-7 is a high-performance, dual-expander cycle engine that generates 10,000 lbf (44.5 kN) vacuum thrust in space.
