On May 9, 2019, our founder discussed his vision to go to space for the benefit of Earth.

In addition, he also announced the Blue Moon lunar lander, which is capable of taking people and payloads to the lunar surface. Below you’ll find more information about these announcements.

Blue Moon lunar lander: Blue Origin announced Blue Moon, its large lunar lander capable of delivering multiple metric tons of payload to the lunar surface based on configuration and mission. The cargo variant revealed today can carry 3.6 metric tons to the surface. We have also designed a variant of the lander that can stretch to be capable of carrying a 6.5metricton, humanrated ascent stage. Blue also announced it can meet the current Administration's goal of putting Americans on the Moon by 2024 with the Blue Moon lunar lander.

BE7 engine: The Blue Moon lunar lander will be powered by the BE7 engine, a new addition to Blue Origin’s family of engines. The BE7’s 40 kN (10,000 lbf) thrust is designed for large lunar payload transport. The engine’s propellants are a highlyefficient combination of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The BE7 will have its first hotfire this summer. The engine will be available for sale to other companies for use in inspace and lander applications.

Club For the Future: A nonprofit founded by Blue Origin dedicated to inspiring and engaging the next generation of dreamers and space entrepreneurs as we journey to preserve Earth and unlock the potential of living and working in space. The Club will bring together K12 students, educators and leaders for campaigns and initiatives utilizing Blue Origin’s unique access to space. The Club’s first activity will be to send a postcard to space and back on a future New Shepard mission—the first ever space mail. Learn more on the website (www.clubforfuture.org).
