Blue Origin Launch Log
Credit: NASA
Part of a dataset collection on Hugging Face.
Dataset description
Complete Blue Origin launch manifest — past and upcoming missions flown or planned by Jeff Bezos's space company, sourced from The Space Devs Launch Library 2 API.
Covers New Shepard (suborbital reusable vehicle used for research and crewed space tourism) and New Glenn (heavy-lift reusable orbital rocket that first flew in 2025). Each row captures mission identifier, vehicle, launch time, status, pad location, target orbit, and a free-text mission description. Includes the full history from the NS-1 development flight in April 2015 through the current manifest of confirmed upcoming New Glenn customer missions.
This dataset is designed as a direct counterpart to juliensimon/spacex-launches, enabling head-to-head comparison of Blue Origin and SpaceX launch cadence, success rates, and vehicle usage over time. It is particularly useful for tracking the accelerating New Glenn flight rate as Blue Origin ramps production, the company's growing share of NASA science missions such as the twin-satellite Mars launch in November 2025, and the competitive dynamics with SpaceX in the Artemis lunar lander program.
This dataset is suitable for tabular classification, time-series forecasting tasks.

Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("juliensimon/blue-origin-launches", split="train")
df = ds.to_pandas()
from datasets import load_dataset
bo = load_dataset("juliensimon/blue-origin-launches", split="train").to_pandas()
sx = load_dataset("juliensimon/spacex-launches", split="train").to_pandas()
# Head-to-head annual cadence
bo_year = bo.groupby("year").size().rename("blue_origin")
# (SpaceX dataset has its own year column — adapt as needed)
print(bo_year.tail(10))
# New Glenn flight manifest
ng = bo[bo["rocket"] == "New Glenn"].sort_values("net_utc")
print(ng[["mission_name", "net_utc", "status", "orbit"]])
