A test of a BE-4 engine at Blue Origin's Launch Site One facility in West Texas, Aug. 2, 2019.
A Blue Origin rocket engine exploded during testing last month, CNBC has learned, a destructive setback with potential ramifications for the company's customers as well as its own rocket.
"No personnel were injured, and we are currently assessing root cause," Blue Origin said, adding that "we already have proximate cause and are working on remedial actions."
Blue Origin also said it will be able to "continue testing" engines in West Texas.
"We will be able to meet our engine delivery commitments this year and stay ahead of our customer's launch needs," Blue Origin added.
