Blue Origin, the space company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has secured a $3.4 billion contract from NASA to develop a crewed lunar lander under the Artemis program, with the total project value exceeding $7 billion. The contract marks a significant milestone in NASA's lunar exploration efforts and paves the way for future Mars missions. The Blue Origin-led team, which includes Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Draper, Astrobotic, and Honeybee Robotics, outbid a team led by Leidos-owned Dynetics. The contract includes one uncrewed demonstration mission to the lunar surface before a crewed demo on the Artemis V mission in 2029. This development follows NASA's previous contract with SpaceX for the Artemis III mission, emphasizing the agency's commitment to fostering competition and innovation in the space industry.
