Blue Origin rocket launches with NASA moon-landing technology

According to Blue Origin, "the lunar landing sensor demo was the first payload to be mounted on the exterior of a New Shepard booster and tested technology designed to achieve high accuracy landing. This will enable long-term lunar exploration, as well as future Mars mission"

Last April, NASA selected Jeff Bezos' space firm Blue Origin, as well as SpaceX and Dynetics, to build lunar landing systems that can carry astronauts to the moon by 2024 - the White House's accelerated deadline under the space agency's moon-to-Mars campaign.
