NASA Trains with Blue Moon Cabin for Artemis Crew Missions
TL;DR Summary
NASA has activated a full-scale mock-up of Blue Origin's Blue Moon Mark 2 crew cabin at Johnson Space Center for Artemis training and testing. The 15-foot-tall cabin sits inside a 52-foot lunar lander prototype and will be used for human-in-the-loop simulations, mission-control drills, spacesuit checkouts, and simulated moonwalks as NASA and Blue Origin prepare for rendezvous and docking tests in Earth orbit (Artemis III, 2027) and future lunar missions (Artemis IV/V in 2028).
