NASA has selected BlueOrigin to build a human landing system for its moon missions, giving it two options for crewed landings after signing up SpaceX in 2021.
NASA has selected Blue Origin to build a human lunar landing system for the Artemis V mission, which is currently targeted for 2029.
Related Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who set up Blue Origin 23 years ago, tweeted his delight at winning the contract, saying: “Honored to be on this journey with NASA to land astronauts on the moon — this time to stay.” Artemis V will use NASA’s SLS rocket to send four astronauts to lunar orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft. After Orion docks with the Gateway, — NASA’s planned moon-orbiting station — two astronauts will transfer to Blue Origin’s Blue Moon human landing system and travel to the lunar surface for a week-long stay in the moon’s South Pole region where they’ll carry out science and exploration activities.
