Broadcast Management Group partnered once again with Blue Origin to produce the live broadcast of its NS-32 mission, which marked the 32nd New Shepard flight and second crewed launch of 2025. This event marked a significant milestone for BMG and the industry at large, representing one of the largest fully cloud-based REMI broadcasts ever executed.
Unlike NS-31, which required extensive on-site logistics with over 60 crew members on-site in Texas and a fleet of production vehicles, NS-32 was powered by BMG’s proprietary REMI workflow and produced primarily from our Network Operations Center in Washington, D.C. The carbon footprint of this production was reduced by approximately 90%, while still matching the complexity and visual quality of the previous on-site event.
With only one BMG crew member sent to Van Horn and a small local team deployed in Kent, the entire production was routed through our cloud-based infrastructure, enabling seamless control of switching, audio, graphics, replay, and transmission from D.C. This approach demonstrated the scalability, reliability, and efficiency of BMG’s NOC-led model which sets a new standard for how complex events can be executed in the future.
BMG delivered comprehensive technical management and infrastructure for the NS-32 broadcast, utilizing a cloud-based REMI production model, which significantly reduced the on-site footprint while expanding production scale, flexibility, and redundancy.
At Launch Site One in Van Horn, Texas, BMG integrated 27 live camera feeds, including drones, robotic cameras, tracking cameras with multiple lenses, and fixed cameras positioned across the launch site. A single BMG engineer was deployed to oversee signal flow, manage local encoding, and coordinate with the remote team. All feeds were transmitted live to BMG’s Network Operations Center (NOC) in Washington, D.C.
At Blue Origin’s headquarters in Kent, Washington, BMG worked with a local crew to support a remote studio setup featuring two Blue Origin anchors delivering live coverage throughout the show. The Kent studio contributed four live camera feeds, which were also routed into the NOC and combined with the Texas feeds in real time.
All core production operations, including switching, graphics, replay, teleprompter, transmission, and audio mixing, were handled from BMG’s NOC in D.C., staffed by a decentralized team of operators with experience from previous Blue Origin missions. Nearly the entire crew was based in the D.C. area, with only a few specialty positions brought in to ensure continuity. The production ran entirely on BMG’s cloud-based infrastructure, which included full system redundancy to safeguard against failure—a key advantage over traditional on-site systems.
Blue Origin provided the show’s executive producer, director, and on-air talent, while BMG handled all technical infrastructure, and both above- and below-the-line crew. The production was completed in six days (compared to nine for NS-31), and the infrastructure put in place will allow future shows like NS-33 to be delivered in just three days.
