Blue Origin Expands Quartz Network to Nine Locations by 2026
Blue Origin aims to grow its Quartz ground station network from three to nine sites by the end of 2026, with RBC Signals supporting this expansion. Quartz will enhance communication for missions in low Earth orbit, geostationary orbit, and cislunar space.

Blue Origin has initiated the global deployment of its Quartz network, which includes three operational stations in Bermuda, New Zealand, and Australia. The company plans to expand this network to nine locations by the end of 2026, partnering with RBC Signals for site preparation, antenna acquisition, and infrastructure deployment.
Quartz is designed to improve data reception and command capabilities for a range of missions, with initial operations focused on low Earth orbit. Future installations will target geostationary orbit and cislunar space.
Blue Origin has not disclosed the six additional locations, investment amounts, or a detailed timeline for the rollout. The integration of Quartz into Blue Origin’s operations underscores its commitment to enhancing mission communication infrastructure.
