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!
Congratulations to @Int_Machines and @NASA on today's incredible landing near the Moon's south pole. Let's do it again - but next time, it's PRIME-1 time!

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.
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
🚨 🎤 New Behind the Wings Podcast Episode: Manufacturing the New Artemis Lunar Drill https://t.co/88Oetz97gb
We’re getting an inside look at the manufacturing processes at @HB_Robotics, as they build a key component for the Orion Spacecraft, and a new lunar drill.
The @aiaa Space Resources Technical Committee Space Resources Webinar Series is hosting Dr. @kriszacny (@HB_Robotics) on August 31 at 4:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM PT! Registration required at the link below prior to the event. Can't wait to see you there!

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.
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).
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.
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!
Whether it's hardware for satellite constellations or high-performance spacecraft, our 2023 vision goes beyond Earth's orbit. Read our recent sit down with Erik Mumm, VP of Motion Control ➡️ https://t.co/iRdHEFeH0U
@astrobotic@BoeingSpace@DraperLab@LockheedMartin@blueorigin@Boeing Honeybee is proud to be supporting our parent company Blue Origin on the National Team proposal! We have been working on planetary surface operation technology for the last 30 years, and we’ve never seen a team this capable of success in the harsh environments of cislunar space.
