We have a few more integrated #BlueGhost payloads to show before we ship for environmental testing! Next up is the Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) developed by @HB_Robotics. LPV will deploy to the Moon’s surface and demonstrate pneumatic sample collection of lunar regolith by collecting and sorting regolith within its sample collection chamber.

Now integrated on Blue Ghost, @HB_Robotics’ LISTER payload will measure heat flow from the interior of the Moon, providing crucial insights below the lunar surface. Stay tuned for more updates!

Honeybee's ASSET-1 will be among the scientific payloads carried on #NS24 and will study the strength of planetary soils under different gravity conditions.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We’re targeting a launch window that opens on Dec. 18 for our next New Shepard payload mission. #NS24 will carry 33 science and research payloads as well as 38,000 @clubforfuture postcards to space. #FortheBenefitofEarth

Congratulations to the National Team! We're honored to be part of this exciting mission to develop and demonstrate a human landing system for @NASA's Artemis V.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We’re excited to be selected by @NASA to land astronauts back on the Moon, this time to stay. Time to get to work! https://t.co/hiAZZCRHMg

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Honored to be on this journey with @NASA to land astronauts on the Moon — this time to stay. Together, we’ll be solving the boil-off problem and making LOX-LH2 a storable propellant combination, pushing forward the state of the art for all deep space missions. #Artemis #MoonToMars https://t.co/hqt4OqiREM

Blue Ghost Mission 1 update: Payload #8 has arrived! The team successfully fit-checked @HB_Robotics's Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity (LISTER).

[Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company @HB_Robotics]

Congratulations to Kris Zacny, Honeybee VP and Senior Research Scientist, on his recent publication!

[Kris Zacny @kriszacny]

Finally, after 2 years of typing and editing, our book on space resources in the Solar System has been published. It’s over 1000 pages! Enjoy.

[Firefly Aerospace @FireflySpace]

Blue Ghost 1 update: Payload #6 has arrived! The team successfully fit-checked @HB_Robotics’s Lunar PlanetVac that will collect, sort, and store lunar regolith on the surface of the Moon.

[Kris Zacny @kriszacny]

PlanetVac is done! Driving to Firefly in Austin TX from Honeybee in Altadena CA. Next step is integration onto BlueGhost lander and launch to the Moon! Thank you to our awesome team from #Honeybee, #NASA, #Firefly and many others! See you on the Moon!
