  1. NASA funds studies focusing on orbital transfer vehicles
    Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture is among six companies that will be producing studies for NASA looking at low-cost ways to use orbital transfer vehicles to deliver spacecraft to hard-to-reach orbits for the space agency.

    The awards will support nine studies in all, with a maximum total val

  2. NASA wants to hook up with commercial ventures that are working on vehicles that can transfer spacecraft to what are typically hard-to-reach orbits ... and #BlueOrigin says its #BlueRing could be just the thing. geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin- #space

  3. The test flight will launch a prototype version of #BlueRing.

    Blue Ring is a #Spacecraft platform designed to support spacecraft operation, under development by Blue Origin. The platform is to be capable of refueling, transporting, and hosting satellites.

    (low earth orbit is fixing to get a lot more crowded)

    #BlueOrigin has received #FAA approval for the first flight, and the payload will include equipment related to #BlueRing, a Blue Origin program that will provide maneuverable spacecraft to the #USDoD

    Upcoming #NewGlenn launches are expected to carry payloads for NASA, various telecommunications providers, and will also launch Amazon’s planned Project Kuiper, a mega-constellation competitor to #SpaceX #Starlink.

  6. Blue Origin and NASA shift New Glenn launch plans
    NASA is delaying the launch of its ESCAPADE probes to Mars, which means plans for the debut of Blue Origin’s heavy-lift New Glenn rocket will change as well.

    New Glenn was previously due to send the twin ESCAPADE spacecraft to Mars as early as next month, but after a review of launch

  7. Companies are pitching concepts for missions to visit an asteroid that will make a close approach to Earth in five years. The asteroid Apophis will pass closer to the Earth than the GEO satellite belt in April 2029, but with no risk of impact, and scientists are eager to send spacecraft to study Apophis both before and after the flyby. At a workshop this week, Blue Origin said it is offering its Blue Ring spacecraft for an Apophis mission, with room for up to 13 instruments or deployable spacecraft.
