Dynetics submitted its proposal by the November deadline but held off on revealing its involvement until this month. Dynetics is involved in a wide range of other space projects \u2014 for example, as a contractor for NASA\u2019s Space Launch System and a propulsion system provider for Astrobotic\u2019s Peregrine lunar lander.<\/li>\n<li>Dynetics\u2019 competitors for NASA\u2019s human-rated lunar lander contracts include Blue Origin, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos\u2019 privately held space venture, in partnership with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper; and Boeing, which has said it will work with NASA centers but hasn\u2019t identified any commercial partners. SpaceX is presumably offering its heavy-lift Starship system for NASA\u2019s use but hasn\u2019t confirmed that it made a proposal. NASA currently plans to announce which companies will be moving on to the next phase of development in February, which is later than originally scheduled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An artist\u2019s conception shows Dynetics\u2019 design for a lunar lander.
