It will be positioned at the 113.6° E orbital slot and will be based on the space-proven, cutting-edge SpaceBus 4000 satellite bus.", "launch_designator": null, "type": "Communications", "orbit": { "id": 2, "name": "Geostationary Transfer Orbit", "abbrev": "GTO" } }, "pad": { "id": 72, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/pad/72/?format=api", "agency_id": null, "name": "Unknown Pad", "info_url": null, "wiki_url": "", "map_url": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=28.458,-80.528", "latitude": "28.458", "longitude": "-80.528", "location": { "id": 12, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/location/12/?format=api", "name": "Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA", "country_code": "USA", "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/location_12_20200803142519.jpg", "total_launch_count": 1132, "total_landing_count": 83 }, "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/pad_72_20200803143403.jpg", "total_launch_count": 0 }, "webcast_live": false, "image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/falcon_9_image_20230807133459.jpeg", "infographic": null, "program": [] }, { "id": "c5ebc8b1-ae7f-4e8d-8619-99bbe0d8025a", "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/launch/c5ebc8b1-ae7f-4e8d-8619-99bbe0d8025a/?format=api", "launch_library_id": null, "slug": "new-glenn-blue-moon-pathfinder-mission-2-viper", "name": "New Glenn | Blue Moon Pathfinder Mission 2 & VIPER", "status": { "id": 2, "name": "TBD" }, "net": "2027-12-31T00:00:00Z", "window_end": "2027-12-31T00:00:00Z", "window_start": "2027-12-31T00:00:00Z", "inhold": false, "tbdtime": true, "tbddate": true, "probability": null, "holdreason": "", "failreason": "", "hashtag": null, "launch_service_provider": { "id": 141, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/agencies/141/?format=api", "name": "Blue Origin", "type": "Commercial" }, "rocket": { "id": 8723, "configuration": { "id": 138, "launch_library_id": 1001, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.0.0/config/launcher/138/?format=api", "name": "New Glenn", "family": "New Glenn", "full_name": "New Glenn", "variant": "" } }, "mission": { "id": 7314, "launch_library_id": null, "name": "Blue Moon Pathfinder Mission 2 & VIPER", "description": "2nd of the National Team’s Blue Moon MK1 lunar lander test missions to validate the necessary technologies for its HLS lunar module. Some of the life support hardware will travel on this mission in preparation for the first crew Blue Moon flight.\r\n\r\nThis mission will also carry NASA’s VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) lunar rover. VIPER is designed to explore the relatively nearby but extreme environment of the Moon in search of ice and other potential resources. This mobile robot will land at the South Pole of the Moon on a 100-day mission, in order to teach us about the origin and distribution of water on the Moon and help determine how we can harvest the Moon's resources for future human space exploration.\r\n\r\nVIPER is designed to roam the Moon using its three instruments and a 1 meter long drill to detect and analyze various lunar soil environments at a range of depths and temperatures. The rover can venture into permanently shadowed craters, some of the coldest spots in the solar system, where ice reserves have endured for billions of years.\r\n\r\nThe rover was originally slated to launch on Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One lunar lander (with the Falcon Heavy rocket), but the VIPER mission was cancelled in July 2024 due to budget cuts. After consulting with the industry to find alternative ways to deliver the rover to the lunar surface, NASA ultimately chose to launch it with Blue Origin’s 2nd Blue Moon MK1 lander mission.",
