Jeff Bezos’ millionaire rocket company, Blue Origin, has been chosen by NASA on Friday to develop a lender for Send astronauts to the moon.
Blue Origin received a $3.4 billion contract on Friday to… lead a team To develop a lunar lander called Blue Moon. It will be used to transport astronauts to the lunar surface as early as 2029, after a pair of Crew landing by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
NASA will take astronauts into orbit around the Moon using Its rockets and capsules, but it wants private companies to take over from there.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the agency wants a different landing options As is more from U.S half-century after the end of Apollo shots.
Blue Origin kicks in Billions of dollar on summit of NASA contract, L.; help Establish a permanent presence on the moon.
“We have a lot to do before we do it successfully “The astronauts are coming back to Earth and back,” said John Colouris, vice president of Blue Origin.
Two years ago, NASA awarded SpaceX the contract for the first Moon landing. A federal judge upheld space an agency decision.
NASA Artemis program, which follows the Apollo lunar shots of the 1960s and 1970s. kick off with successful test The flight is delayed last year. It was launched on top of NASA new Moon rocket, an empty Orion capsule went into lunar orbit before returning home.
He will come late next year when one Canadian and three American astronauts fly to the Moon and back, but not the Earth. Two Americans descend to the lunar surface aboard the SpaceX Starship on the mission after that, .
Like SpaceX, Blue Origin plans to practice drop on The Moon without a crew before the astronauts were placed on board.
while the shinythe stainless steel spacecraft has science Fantastic look, looks like a blue moon more of a traditional A capsule floats above a tall chamber with legs. The latter will stand 52 feet (16 m) tall. on the moon.
The two companies’ landing vehicles are supposed to be reusable.
Blue Origin will use still-in-development New Glenn rocket to launch the moon missions From Cape Canaveral. the spacecraft World’s Largest Rocket from South Texas; the test The trip is over in An explosive fireball a few minutes into the flight.
Blue Origin team It includes five partners: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Draper, Astrobotic Technology and Honeybee Robotics.
Just one Another bid was submitted for Contract competition, according to NASA.
