The orbital delivery platform, named Blue Ring, underscores Jeff Bezos’s ongoing ambitions in space.
Blue Origin revealed plans for a new spacecraft platform with the potential to reshape in-space logistics, offering unprecedented maneuverability and a host of advanced capabilities. In an effort to expand its presence and capabilities in space, Blue Origin announced on Monday that it’s developing Blue Ring—an advanced spacecraft platform designed for orbital logistics and delivery, according to the company press release.
However, Hoffman asserted that Blue Ring will stand out, surpassing other orbital transfer vehicles, tugs, and propulsive-ESPA concepts, in which ESPA stands for Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adapter. Aviation Weekly reported that the upcoming platform, intended to have a five-year operational lifespan, will have the ability to refuel in orbit and provide fuel to other spacecraft.
