Blue Origin said it has joined Lockheed Martin and Boeing in a proposal to build a lunar landing vehicle for NASA’s Artemis program to transport people to the moon.
The space company founded by Jeff Bezos is leading the proposal, which is its second attempt at winning a NASA contract to build a lander. Last year Blue Origin lost out to Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which the agency chose to run the first Artemis moon landings during the next several years. The agency later began a new competition for a second lander to back up the SpaceX vehicle.
