Until now, Blue Origin’s lunar lander has been kept under wraps, but the company allowed our cameras in to see it. The unmanned cargo lander will be the company’s first to land on the moon. The lander stands nearly 30 feet tall and is wrapped in gold-colored insulation designed to protect it from solar heat and radiation. “This vehicle will be the largest and heaviest lander to ever land on the moon,” says John Couluris, senior vice president of lunar permanence at Blue Origin. Later this year, Couluris says, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket will carry Mark 1 into space before it descends to the moon’s south pole. #blueorigin #moon #spacetravel #spacecraft
