Blue Origin has announced a significant milestone in the development of its Blue Alchemist technology, which aims to enable sustainable infrastructure on the Moon using local resources. This breakthrough is crucial as NASA prepares for its upcoming lunar missions, including crewed expeditions by 2026.

Blue Alchemist will transform lunar regolith into essential materials, such as metals and breathable oxygen, reducing reliance on Earth for materials. The technology completed its critical design review and will undergo an autonomous demonstration in a simulated lunar environment in 2026.
