Blue Origin Mars mission delayed
A Blue Origin LLC mission to send satellites to Mars will be delayed until at least early 2025 over concerns about whether the Jeff Bezos-backed firm would be ready to launch as planned this year.
NASA said Friday that it would forgo an October flight “to avoid significant cost, schedule, and technical challenges associated with potentially removing fuel from the spacecraft in the event of a launch delay.”
