Blue Origin and its National Team partners will develop a human landing system powered by LOX-LH2 capable of recurring missions and docking with Gateway, a space station where crew transfer.
to demonstrate an initial human landing system for the Artemis III and IV missions. Blue Origin will develop a lander that meets similar requirements and supports an increased crew size, longer mission duration, and delivery of more mass to the Moon.
“Having two distinct lunar lander designs, with different approaches to how they meet NASA’s mission needs, provides more robustness and ensures a regular cadence of Moon landings,” Lisa Watson-Morgan, manager, Human Landing System Program at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama said. Bezos, since stepping down as Amazon CEO, has focused most of his attention on Blue Origin, “the most important work” he’s doing, according to him.
Blue Origin, along with its National Team partners, will power the lunar lander with liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen , a high-performance propellant requiring storage at very low temperatures.will develop and fly solar-powered 20-degree Kelvin cryocoolers and other technologies and reap the benefits LOX-LH2 provides.
