Blue Origin’s vice president, John Koulouris, said in an interview with the “60 Minutes” program broadcast on CBC television channel that the Blue Moon Mark 1 (MK1) device should fly to the USA without the crew version. month in 12-16 months.
The purpose of the first MK1 mission was to demonstrate the capabilities of the lunar lander. And this plan is impressive because the official start of the project took place recently; In May 2023, NASA signed a contract with Blue Origin to develop a lunar module for Artemis missions. The contract includes the creation of the Blue Moon Mark 1 vehicle, which will be used as a lunar cargo ship for the Artemis V mission, planned for 2029, and will later be modified to carry astronauts.
The company’s ambitious program is surprising because Blue Origin has yet to test the New Glenn launch vehicle that will be used to launch MK1.
