New Glenn grounding creates direct timeline risk for VIPER's late 2027 launch window. Blue Origin is contracted to deliver VIPER to the lunar south pole using Blue Moon MK1 lander carried by New Glenn. If the BE-3U thrust deficiency root cause is systematic (design flaw rather than hardware anomaly), return to flight could take 3-6 months, pushing VIPER close to or past its 2027 launch window. This is the third consecutive failure/delay signal in the ISRU prerequisite chain: PRIME-1 failed, PROSPECT delayed, and now VIPER launch vehicle grounded.

# VIPER's late 2027 prospecting mission structurally constrains operational lunar ISRU to post-2029 because extraction system design requires site characterization data
