Blue Moon MK2 Test Article

Planned June 2027

New Glenn will put a test version of Blue Origin's Blue Moon MK2 lander into a circular low Earth orbit about 440 km up, where it can wait up to 30 days for Artemis III's Orion. Orion is to launch a few days later and dock beside the lander's crew cabin, and the crew will spend about two days aboard it.
