TL;DR

Blue Origin’s uncrewed lunar lander Endurance MK1 is moving toward a lunar mission with a busy test campaign across NASA centers and the company’s Florida facilities, including vacuum chamber testing at Johnson Space Center and radio-frequency compatibility checks at Lunar Plant 1, all in support of Artemis 3 (targeted for late 2027) which could use Blue Moon or SpaceX’s Starship for the landing; meanwhile Blue Origin’s New Glenn remains grounded while FAA investigates a separate second-stage issue.
