‘The most complicated launch campaign ever’: NASA lays out mad dash to test lunar landers
(CNN) — NASA offered new details Friday about a mad dash to get two lunar landers — built by competing companies Blue Origin and SpaceXRead More NASA is facing a frantic effort to get two lunar landers, built by competing companies Blue Origin and SpaceX, and the space agency’s own rocket and spacecraft ready for a crucial test mission next year. The upcoming 14-day test mission will involve the launch of three massive rockets and will involve docking and undocking the crewed Orion spacecraft multiple times with experimental vehicles. The mission will be designed to help determine which lander NASA might use for Artemis IV, which will mark the first time astronauts have landed on the surface of the moon since the agency‘s Apollo program ended in 1972. Both companies have multibillion-dollar contracts with the US space agency to develop vehicles capable of ferrying astronauts from NASA’�s Orion spacecraft to the lunar surface.
