Meet Blue Origin's Mars Telecommunications Orbiter (MTO), a high-performance spacecraft built upon our existing and affordable Blue Ring platform that is ready to support NASA’s Mars mission in 2028. The orbiter builds upon Blue Origin’s Mars Next-Generation Relay and Mars Sample Return architecture commercial proposals and creates a high-speed telecommunications relay network for coverage between Earth and Mars. Our orbiter's hybrid propulsion, maneuvering capability, and capacity greatly expand the windows to get to the Red Planet. MTO also provides powerful edge and AI computing benefits to help with Mars science and exploration missions. Learn more:

By providing both propulsion for delivery and Earth communications, Blue Ring MTO dramatically simplifies requirements for orbiters and landed assets at Mars, allowing them to focus on exploration, science, and scouting rather than basic infrastructure. Next-generation high-resolution imagery, weather and dust storm monitoring, and ice mapping for fuel resources and ice science are essential for enabling human landing and advancing Mars understanding. Blue Ring MTO’s infrastructure significantly reduces the complexity, cost, and risk of these missions, enabling swarms of lower-cost, smaller missions to perform next-generation science at Mars.

Why do a little science when you can do a lot of science? Our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, based on our existing Blue Ring vehicle, meets the urgent need for communications, navigation, and relay while also flying up to 500 kg of science instruments to Mars. With this capacity, we can deploy two ESCAPADE-class spacecraft from our orbiter or 10+ CubeSats and still host onboard instruments like a comprehensive science package to monitor the Martian atmosphere’s interaction with the solar wind.

Replacing the Mars Relay Network isn’t just about science, it’s about leadership. NASA’s current relay network is aging. To enable astronauts, rovers, and researchers to stay connected, we need a resilient, high-bandwidth system built for the future. Rocket Lab’s Mars Telecommunications Orbiter delivers exactly that: a modern, commercial backbone to support every mission on Mars—NASA, academia, and commercial explorers alike. The U.S. leads when it builds the infrastructure that others depend on. With MTO, Rocket Lab is ready to deliver it – learn how

Wait… now that Elon made it clear the priority is Moon over Mars… does this mean that once we have a city/base on the Moon, the launch cadence changes? Like, would the 26-month Earth-to-Mars window be less, since missions could go from the moon?
