The Blue Origin and @NASA teams took this fun test photo using the cameras on a payload set to launch this year on the Blue Moon MK1 mission. Designed to assess the lunar surface impacts of landing, this will be the first NASA payload delivered by our MK1 lander. Our BE-7 with its 10,000 pounds of thrust met NASA’s unique requirements and will be the most efficient and largest cryogenic engine to land on the Moon.
The team is already preparing for its next flight on Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander, scheduled to launch later this year. The next version of SCALPSS is undergoing thermal vacuum testing at NASA Langley ahead of a late-March delivery to Blue Origin.
