NASA, earlier this year, selected companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to design a Human Landing System (HLS) for its Artemis mission. This mission aims to send a man and the first woman to the surface of the Moon to create history.
“The BE-7 is a high-performance, additively manufactured liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen lunar landing engine with 10,000 lbf of thrust — deep throttling down to 2,000 lbf for a precise landing on the Moon”, wrote Bezos in his Instagram post. As per his statement, this super-powerful engine will power Blue Origin’s National Team HLS lunar lander. This will aid NASA’s mission and help the crew to land safely on the surface of the Moon.
