WASHINGTON — Blue Origin expects to launch the first version of its Blue Moon lunar lander, a precursor to a future crewed lunar lander it is developing for NASA, in 2025.
"This lander, we're expecting to land on the moon between 12 to 16 months from today," he said, referring to a full-sized mockup of the lander behind him. "That is what our team is aiming towards."
The Mark 1 lander is a cargo vehicle that is a technology demonstrator. Blue Origin disclosed the mockup in October and said at the time it planned to launch its first Mark 1 lander, designated MK1-SN001, on a "Pathfinder Mission" to test key technologies such as its BE-7 engine.
