Implementation Timeline
Not specified in the content
Pain Points
- 1High cost of access to space
- 2Limited reusability and higher maintenance between flights
- 3Reliance on traditional/foreign rocket technology and capability gaps for large payloads and lunar missions
Key Features
- 1New Shepard: fully autonomous, suborbital rocket system; crew capsule for six; BE-3PM engine; high reuse with 99% of dry mass recycled; payloads for research and education; environmentally controlled capsule; designed for 11-minute mission profile
- 2New Glenn: heavy-lift orbital rocket with seven BE-4 engines; LNG propellant; large 7-meter fairing; two restartable BE-3Us on second stage; reusable first stage; capable of delivering >13 metric tons to geostationary transfer orbit and 45 metric tons to LEO; designed for a variety of payloads and destinations; U.S.-based manufacturing
- 3Blue Moon: lunar lander family with MK1 cargo variant (up to ~3 metric tons to the Moonâs surface) and MK2 under development via the SLD contract with NASA and National Team partners; precise landing capability on the Moonâs surface
Target Customer Industries
Client Results
