A variation of Starship is scheduled to take NASA astronauts to the moon as soon as September 2026. By contrast, Blue Origin has yet to launch anything into orbit, and its contract with NASA for a lunar lander for astronauts is for a mission that is launching in 2030.
After Blue Moon Mark 1 is launched into an orbit about 125 miles above Earth's surface, the lander's BE-7 engine will propel it toward the moon, slowing it down to enter orbit around the moon and then guiding it to the landing on the surface.
