Fresh off its highly successful NG-2 flight, which launched the ESCAPADE Mars probes and featured a successful booster landing, Blue Origin unveiled the Blue Moon Mk1 robotic lander due to fly in 2026, possibly on New Glenn’s next flight. In addition, the company announced its future New Glenn 9×4 rocket while giving the current New Glenn the 7×2 designation. What’s more, Blue Origin also shared details about its Blue Ring tug and satellite bus, as well as revealing a new deployable aerobrake to enable future Mars missions.
