We have a few more integrated #BlueGhost payloads to show before we ship for environmental testing! Next up is the Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) developed by Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company. LPV will deploy to the Moon’s surface and demonstrate pneumatic sample collection of lunar regolith by collecting and sorting regolith within its sample collection chamber.

🇺🇸 BLUE ORIGIN'S NEW SHEPARD COMPLETES NS-29 MISSION, TESTS MOON GRAVITY TECH Blue Origin successfully launched its New Shepard NS-29 mission from West Texas, carrying 30 payloads to test lunar technologies. The capsule simulated lunar gravity for two minutes, helping NASA and private companies refine moon exploration tech for Artemis missions. Experiments included studying moon dust behavior, fluid dynamics in space, and fire safety in lunar habitats. This marks New Shepard’s 29th flight, bringing its total payload count to over 175. The mission had been delayed due to avionics issues and weather but launched successfully Tuesday morning. Source: SatNews

🇺🇸Artemis II launched yesterday, sending four astronauts on the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years. The crew has already spent a full day in space and completed early milestones, including manually piloting the Orion spacecraft. Today they will perform the critical trans-lunar injection burn that will send them on their path toward the Moon. The roughly 10 day journey includes a close flyby of the lunar surface before using the Moon’s gravity to slingshot them back to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Source: NASA

Shortly after landing, #BlueGhost deployed four tethered Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) electrodes to the surface and a 8-foot mast above our top deck. Look closely in the video below! These instruments will allow NASA and the Southwest Research Institute team to study the deep interior of the Moon - up to 2/3rds the distance to the Moon's center - to learn more about the structure and composition of the Moon’s mantle.

Artemis Astronauts, meet your new ride: Pegasus. NASA has selected Lunar Outpost's Pegasus for a High Achievability Mission task order under its Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract, marking the first human-rated mobility on the Moon since Apollo. This award confirms Lunar Outpost’s leading role as the next generation mobility and infrastructure provider to advance permanent lunar operations. The Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV provides critical surface mobility for Astronauts operating at the Moon’s South Pole, expanding how far and long crews can traverse and operate on the lunar surface. Pegasus is designed to support a range of mission profiles, including site exploration, foundational science operations, resource prospecting, and surface site preparation as NASA lays the groundwork for a permanent human presence on the Moon by 2030. The development of Pegasus was led by Lunar Outpost, in partnership with collaborators General Motors, Goodyear, and Leidos. The team combines proven heritage with decades of experience in advanced engineering, automotive industrialization, and human spaceflight.

For the first time since 1972, astronauts are on their way to the moon. NASA's Artemis 2 mission successfully launched last night and will go on a 10 day mission, though they won't land on the moon this time, instead looping around it and then back to Earth. This mission is part of NASA's preparations for deep-space missions - with landings on the surface and even a lunar base being planned in the coming years. David Harper reports.
