Blue Origin

Blue Origin is an aerospace company developing reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles, in-space systems and lunar landers. Its stated objective is to cut the cost of access to space sharply enough to allow millions of people to live and work in space and on the Moon. The company's remit spans suborbital and orbital flight, lunar landing and space infrastructure, and it operates across Earth orbit, low Earth orbit and the lunar surface.

Three vehicles anchor its portfolio. New Shepard is a suborbital space vehicle designed to lower barriers to space access. New Glenn is an orbital launch vehicle intended to reduce the cost of reaching orbit. Blue Moon is a lunar lander supporting a permanent human presence on the Moon. The engineering approach is incremental: the company pursues reusability and cost reduction step by step rather than through single leaps.

The firm's stated purpose is to benefit Earth. Its founding belief is that the planet's resources are finite and that humanity must expand beyond it; a related environmental ambition is to move heavy industry off-world in order to preserve Earth's biosphere. The team is composed of engineers, scientists and visionaries, with a stated goal of making space accessible to entrepreneurs, researchers and ordinary people, not only to governments and astronauts, and of mobilising future generations around bold goals.
