Blue Origin builds reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles, in-space systems and lunar landers, including New Shepard, New Glenn and Blue Moon, to reduce the cost of access to space.
Blue Origin builds reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles, in-space systems and lunar landers, with the stated aim of radically reducing the cost of access to space and enabling millions of people to live and work there. The company works across several technical domains, including reusable rocket engines, suborbital and orbital launch, in-space systems, lunar landers and space infrastructure, spanning operations and ambitions on Earth, in low Earth orbit and at the Moon.
Its product line comprises New Shepard, a suborbital vehicle designed to lower barriers to space access; New Glenn, an orbital launcher intended to reduce the cost of access to space; and Blue Moon, a lunar lander supporting a permanent human presence on the Moon. These sit within industry verticals covering aerospace, space launch services, lunar exploration, space infrastructure and in-space industry.
The company describes itself as mission-driven, with the purpose of benefiting Earth and a founding belief that the planet's resources are finite and that humanity must expand beyond it. Its culture signals include a team of engineers, scientists and visionaries, an incremental, step-by-step approach to lowering barriers to space, and a commitment to bold goals and mobilising future generations. It aims to make space accessible to entrepreneurs, researchers and ordinary people rather than only governments and astronauts, and holds an environmental ethos of moving heavy industry off-world to preserve Earth's biosphere.
