Blue Origin hopes to get what it couldn\u2019t last time<\/h2>\n

Announced alongside a new website page, Blue Origin has submitted a bid for NASA\u2019s Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) contract. This contract would provide funds for a commerical partner (aka a private company or group of companies) to develop a lander capable of docking with Gateway and bringing crew to and from the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re getting a little bit of dej\u00e0 vu with the National Team branding, that\u2019s because you\u2019re right; this is pretty much a rehash of Blue\u2019s Human Landing System bid minus Northrop Grumman. SpaceX came out victorious with its Starship launch vehicle after a long, drawn-out legal battle with Blue Origin. The SLD National Team, or National Team 2.0, replaces Northrop with Boeing and adds Astrobotic and Honeybee Robotics to the team. A formidable force of talent from the aerospace industry.<\/p>\n
