FLEET COMPOSITION
Every vehicle this operator has flown. Linked profiles carry the full reliability + reuse + subsystem record.
| Vehicle | Class | Launches | Success rate | Reuse | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Glenn 7X2 | — | 2 | 100.0% | — | |
| New Glenn | Heavy | 1 | 0.0% | First-stage reusable | Profile → |
SUBSYSTEM RELIABILITY
Aggregate subsystem outcomes across every vehicle this operator flies. Absence of a row means "not tracked yet" — never fabricated success.

METHODOLOGY
Launch history and subsystem outcomes aggregate from AstraVeris's launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower bounds on success rates. ARI scores come from the 11-factor composite (/finance/methodology/). Constellation counts derive from the live CelesTrak/GCAT object catalog. Gov contracts from USAspending.gov awards; private deals from deduplicated pipeline deal extraction. Absence of a row means "not tracked" — we never fabricate. See /methodology/ for the full data model and /data-licensing/ for licensing terms.
