Main Engine Cut OffNASA-Blue Origin Orbital Space Act Agreement
Tweet from Jeff Foust, with a statement from Bill Gerstenmaier today during the NASA Advisory Council Human Exploration and Operations Committee:
Gerst: also entered into a new unfunded Space Act Agreement with Blue Origin regarding its plans for orbital human space transport system.
Things are starting to heat up surrounding Blue Origin’s orbital plans, and I expect to hear more sometime soon—especially with the BE-4 nearing its full-up test. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Blue Origin enter the competition for the next round of NASA cargo and crew contracts.
