Over the past few months, Blue Origin has been sharing progressively more updates and information on its Mk1 lunar lander as it nears completion. Slated to launch later this year, not only is the primary structure basically complete, but it’s already making its way down a test campaign to verify it’s ready for flight.
This includes acoustic testing, vacuum testing, and even engine integration. Once ready, the vehicle will be placed ontop of a New Glenn rocket and sent to the Moon for a planned landing at the lunar South Pole near Shackleton Crater.
