Blue Origin sues US government over NASA's decision to award SpaceX lunar lander contract
CNN
Blue Origin filed a federal lawsuit Monday to challenge a NASA moon landing contract awarded solely to rival company SpaceX, upping the ante in an already tense standoff over the multibillion-dollar lunar lander program.
Details of the lawsuit are not publicly available because the documents are under seal, but Blue Origin claims it is an "attempt to remedy the flaws in the acquisition process found in NASA's Human Landing System," the company said in a statement. Human Landing System, or HLS, is the formal name of the program that's at the heart of this legal battle, and it seeks to use private-sector contracting to develop, build and test the vehicle that will put astronauts on the moon for the first time in a half-century.More Related News
