Blue Origin test motorsysteem maanlander Blue Moon Mark 2

Blue Origin has successfully tested the propulsion system of its Blue Moon Mark 2 lunar lander, a significant milestone in developing NASA's crewed lunar landing vehicle under the Artemis program. The test validated the BE-7 engine, a liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen system capable of producing 10,000 pounds of thrust with precise throttle control, essential for safe descent on the airless lunar surface. This achievement advances Blue Origin's Human Landing System contract, which it secured in 2021, positioning the company alongside other commercial players developing lunar landing technology
