Blue Origin Wins NASA’s $700M Mars Orbiter Contract | This Week in Spaceflight
Blue Origin has defeated Rocket Lab in the competition for NASA’s new Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, securing a contract worth up to $700 million. Based on Blue Ring, the spacecraft could become a critical communications link between Earth and future missions exploring the Red Planet.Meanwhile, SpaceX discovered an oxidizer leak aboard the Crew-13 Dragon spacecraft, delaying its launch until later in September. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope successfully launched aboard Falcon Heavy, and new findings show that Orion’s heat shield performed dramatically better during Artemis II than it did on Artemis I.
We also cover new progress toward Artemis III and Artemis IV, national security customers joining Dream Chaser’s maiden flight, Hubble’s discovery of a strange decagon at Saturn’s south pole, the funding fight surrounding New Horizons, Astroscale’s plan to capture a massive piece of orbital debris, and the latest developments from Voyager’s Griffin lunar landers.
Then, in Space Traffic, we recap the launch of Roman, China’s new Pallas-1 rocket, Rocket Lab’s latest Electron mission, two spacewalks, and BepiColombo’s latest milestone on the way to Mercury.
