Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander, being developed under the NASA SLD (Sustaining Lunar Development) HLS (Human Landing System) contract for the Artemis program. Together with Lockheed Martin's Cislunar Transporter, Blue Moon serves as a fully reusable lunar orbit-to-surface crew transport system. Blue Moon is powered by a cluster of hydrogen-oxygen BE-7 engines, and features an unconventional structural design with a bottom-mounted crew cabin for easy crew egress to the lunar surface without need for an elevator or tall ladder. Through a combination of advanced insulation and active cryocooling, the vehicle is able to store cryogenic propellants in space indefinitely
Blue Moon will launch aboard New Glenn
