Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture is one of the six companies chosen by NASA to conduct studies on cost-effective methods of using orbital transfer vehicles to transport spacecraft to challenging orbits. These studies will support nine projects with a total value of approximately $1.4 million, aiming to enhance NASA’s capability for delivering multiple spacecraft to difficult-to-reach orbits beyond current launch services. This initiative is expected to boost unique science capabilities and reduce overall mission costs for the space agency.
