Blue Origin’s New Moon Lander Passes a Crucial Test for NASA Missions

Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 1 cargo lander completed major thermal vacuum testing in NASA’s Johnson Space Center Chamber A.

The test validated critical landing and spacecraft systems, reducing risk for future lunar deliveries.

The result moves Blue Origin closer to supporting NASA’s CLPS efforts and future Artemis missions.

The company says the work also helps mature technologies for larger lunar systems, including Blue Moon Mark 2 and future human landing work.
