Repercussions of New Glenn’s Explosion Still Coming Into Focus

Posted: May 29, 2026 6:21 pm ET | Last Updated: May 30, 2026 8:43 am ET | Less than a day after Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launch pad during a pre-launch test on May 28, 2026, repercussions are still being weighed. Government and commercial customers are all depending on this new heavy-lift rocket, especially NASA, which needs it to land cargo and crews on the Moon beginning this year.

Data and imagery from #NASA’s #LRO assisted the landing site selection of nine locations near the Moon’s 🌙 south pole. Upcoming #robotic missions will investigate the stability of the region and either validate the #Artemis candidate sites or force a reevaluation https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/here-are-the-nine-sites-where-artemis-3-might-land-on-the-moon/

Drohne trifft auf Künstliche Intelligenz. Flapper Drones sind insektenähnliche Dronen mit etwa 5 min Flugzeit und 110g eigenem Gewicht. Ohne Fracht schafft eine Flapper Drone also nur etwas mehr als 1.44 km Flugstrecke ohne Ladung.

Dieses Flugobjekt ist also noch Gegenstand aktueller Forschung und wird von Flapper s.r.a. in Tschechien entwickelt.

Moon Base - NASA

The Moon Base is a central component of NASA's Artemis program, aimed at establishing the first sustained presence on the Moon. Located near the lunar South Pole, the Moon Base will serve as a hub for science, technology demonstrations, and exploration. Through a phased approach that begins with robotic systems and evolves toward continuous operations, the initiative is designed to help unlock new scientific discoveries, advance technologies needed for future deep space missions, and foster an emerging lunar economy.
