About this award
Blue Origin Washington, LLC was awarded a $1M grant by a civilian federal agency through solicitation 23-23FOF1_PRO-0054 to mature a robust landing LIDAR system, with work to be performed in Kent, Washington. The grant, issued on March 1, 2025, supports completion by December 1, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation. This award aligns with Blue Origin's broader portfolio of advanced space technology research and development efforts, which have included significant NASA-funded initiatives focused on lunar landing capabilities and proximity operations sensors in support of the Artemis program objectives.
The landing LIDAR system maturation effort represents a critical technology development contribution to NASA's space exploration initiatives, particularly for autonomous precision landing capabilities required for lunar and cislunar operations. Blue Origin's extensive experience delivering sophisticated spacecraft landing systems and advanced sensor technologies through major contracts—including the $3.4B Human Landing System contract and participation in multiple landing precision research efforts—positions the company to effectively execute this technology maturation grant and advance the state of autonomous landing sensor capabilities for future deep space missions.
