It’s the second Artemis crew lander after SpaceX’s Starship, which was selected in 2021.
A moon lander built by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will be the second system that takes NASA astronauts to the lunar surface, agency officials announced today (May 19).
A consortium led by Blue Origin won the second Human Landing System (HLS) contract issued by NASA for the Artemis program, the agency said during a livestreamed announcement from Washington, D.C. today. Under the $3.4 billion award, Blue Origin will provide a second astronaut moon-landing option for NASA beyond SpaceX‘s Starship, which was selected in 2021.
