Executive Summary

The successful launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket carrying NASA’s ESCAPADE spacecraft marked a historic moment in space exploration—and an equally historic achievement in live broadcast production.

Broadcast Management Group engineered one of the largest and most technically ambitious REMI productions ever executed, integrating over 50 live camera feeds from five locations across the U.S. into its state-of-the-art Network Operations Center (NOC) in Washington, D.C.

From the rocket engine factory in Huntsville, to Mission Control in Kent, to multiple positions around Cape Canaveral—including a custom-built studio and video village in Blue Origin’s facility—every element of this live show was remotely monitored, switched, shaded, mixed, and transmitted transmitted to BMG’s Centralized Network Operations Center.

This production showcased what’s now possible when cutting-edge aerospace meets cutting-edge broadcast. By centralizing operations and minimizing on-site footprint, BMG not only helped tell the story of a new era in space exploration—but did it in a way that rewrote the playbook for how large-scale, multi-camera, global live events can be produced.

The Problem

New Glenn’s launch on November 13, 2025, was a landmark for the aerospace industry. Not only did the rocket deliver NASA’s ESCAPADE twin spacecraft into orbit, it also marked a significant leap forward in reusable rocket technology—successfully landing a massive first-stage booster.

Capturing the scale of that achievement required more than a traditional production approach. The mission demanded:

  • Multiple remote feeds from locations across the country.

  • On-site production team proximity for editorial control.

  • High-stakes, low-latency switching, replay, and graphics.

  • Full technical redundancy and system reliability.

In short, it needed a production team that could be everywhere at once—without physically being everywhere at once.

The Solution

BMG’s Proprietary REMI Workflow + Cloud Control Infrastructure

This broadcast was only possible thanks to BMG’s proprietary cloud-based REMI workflow, built around our private Cloud Control Center™ and centralized through our Network Operations Center in Washington, D.C.

From the NOC, BMG’s core team managed:

  • Switching
  • Graphics
  • Replay
  • Audio mixing
  • Video shading of all 50+ incoming feeds
  • Transmission

All while communicating with on-site producers, directors, and reporters in real time.

The NOC was staffed with an executive in charge of production, a technical director, a graphics operator, a replay team, an audio engineer, and an engineer-in-charge — all working with complete system redundancy to guarantee continuity. The entire control infrastructure ran through BMG’s cloud platform, enabling seamless integration across all locations.
