x/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration
— Sep 2, 2026
NASA awarded Blue Origin a contract worth up to about $700 million to design, build, and operate a high-performance Mars telecommunications network, delivering a DTN-enabled relay orbiter by end-2028 and achieving operational status around Mars by 2030 to relay science data, imagery, navigation, and mission communications for future missions. The award marks NASA’s shift toward commercially operated interplanetary communications infrastructure and aligns with the Artemis program’s Moon-to-Mars ambitions, even as Blue Origin continues lunar contracts and recovers from a recent launchpad setback.
