Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has announced Blue Ring, which is an ambitious new spacecraft platform for logistics and delivery.
The new endeavour will focus on logistics and deliveries for missions orbiting Earth.technically pipped Jeff Bezos in the billionaire space race, the work being done at Blue Origin has proved a bit of a mystery. That was until this week when the company announced a venture called Blue Ring.
“Blue Ring serves commercial and government customers and can support a variety of missions in medium Earth orbit out to the cislunar region and beyond. The platform provides end-to-end services that span hosting, transportation, refueling, data relay, and logistics, including an ‘in-space’ cloud computing capability.
Given the sheer volume of launches that have been happening of late and the number of space agencies vying for supremacy in space, the new division of Blue Origin makes a lot of sense, especially when it comes to serving as a middle-man for critical solutions and connectivity.
