Amazon Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband internet to unserved and underserved communities globally.

Blue Origin's pad loss could delay Moon Base 1 by several months and affect the VIPER launch, the two LTV rovers, and the Artemis 3 and Artemis 4 schedules.

Lunar Outpost's rover for NASA is Pegasus, which uses much of the design of its larger Eagle rover originally proposed for the Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services program.

NASA plans to spend $20 billion over the next seven years and more than $30 billion over the next decade to build out a lunar base with a monthly cadence of robotic landings.

Firefly Aerospace won an $80 million contract to deliver JPL's MoonFall spacecraft to the Moon.

Blue Origin's static-fire test at Launch Complex 36 ended in a major explosion that destroyed the rocket, its transporter-erector, and a lightning tower.

NASA said Artemis 3 will stay in low Earth orbit and dock with prototypes of Blue Moon Mark 2 and SpaceX's Starship.

Blue Origin planned an early June 2026 launch of 48 Amazon Leo broadband satellites on New Glenn.

Blue Origin said it will fly again before the end of 2026.

NASA wants a successful landing on Blue Moon Mark 1 before entrusting VIPER to that lander.

NASA selected Blue Origin's Blue Moon Mark 1 to deliver both rovers on separate missions under a contract worth up to $468.4 million if all options are exercised.

NASA renamed Blue Origin's Blue Moon Mark 1 lander Moon Base 1 and scheduled it to fly in fall 2026 with a NASA payload under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.

NASA selected Astrolab and Lunar Outpost to develop lunar rovers, and each contract is worth about $220 million.
