Blue Origin Secures $3.4 Billion NASA Contract for Human-Crewed Lunar Lander
TL;DR Summary
NASA has awarded a $3.4 billion contract to Blue Origin to create a lunar lander for the upcoming Artemis mission, which includes an uncrewed "demonstration mission" followed by a human-crewed demo in 2029 for the Artemis V mission. Blue Origin is the second company to land a contract with NASA for a lunar lander for Artemis, after SpaceX won the sole contract in 2021. NASA said adding another human landing system partner to its Artemis program will increase competition, reduce costs, and help achieve its goals on and around the Moon in preparation for future astronaut missions to Mars.
