Umnikazi weBlue Origin u-Jeff Bezos umemezele ukwakhiwa kwedivayisi engasetshenziswa esikhathini esizayo ukuthutha impahla ehlukahlukene ebusweni beNyanga. Ubalule nokuthi umsebenzi wokwakhiwa kwalo mshini, oqanjwe ngokuthi iBlue Moon, usuneminyaka emithathu wenziwe. Ngokusho kwedatha esemthethweni, imodeli ethulwe yedivayisi ingaletha amathani angama-6,5 wempahla ebusweni besathelayithi yemvelo yoMhlaba.
Kubikwa ukuthi idivayisi ethulwe inikwa amandla yinjini ye-BE-7, esebenzisa i-hydrogen ewuketshezi kanye ne-oxygen ewuketshezi njengophethiloli. Kuyaphawulwa ukuthi izindawo ezigciniwe zeqhwa ezitholakala endaweni yenyanga zizosiza ukuhlinzeka ngomthombo wamandla ongaphazamiseki weBlue Moon. Phezulu kwesakhiwo se-lander kunesiteji esiyisicaba esiklanyelwe ukuthwala impahla. Kuhlelelwe ukusebenzisa i-crane ekhethekile ukukhulula isiteji ngemva kokufika ngempumelelo.
UMnu. Bezos akazange acacise ukuthi lowo mhlabeli ukusiphi isigaba sentuthuko, kodwa uthe iBlue Origin iyazeseka izinhlelo zikahulumeni wase-US zokuthumela osomkhathi eNyangeni ngo-2024.
Ngisho nangesikhathi kwethulwa i-Blue Moon apparatus, uJeff Bezos uqinisekise izinhlelo zenkampani, ngokusho ukuthi imoto yokwethulwa kweNew Glenn kufanele ihambe ngendiza ye-orbital ngo-2021. Isigaba sokuqala semoto yokwethulwa singasetshenziswa kuze kube izikhathi ezingama-25. Kuhlelwe ukuthi ngemva kokuhlukana isigaba sokuqala sizofika endaweni yesikhulumi esikhethekile esihambayo olwandle. Ngokusho kwenhloko yeBlue Origin, inkundla yeselula izogwema ukukhanselwa kokwethulwa ngenxa yesimo sezulu esibi. Futhi ekwethulweni, ulwazi lwaqinisekiswa ukuthi kakade kulo nyaka ukwethulwa kokuqala kwe-rocket ye-New Shepard suborbital reusable reusable, okuzosetshenziswa esikhathini esizayo ukuletha izivakashi emngceleni nomkhathi.
