Moon Express want to launch missions to the moon for less than $10 million including the launch. <\/p>\n
Moon Express is printing their lander engines for less than $2000 in two weeks. <\/p>\n
All Moon Express robotic spacecraft are environmentally green, use eco-friendly fuels, advanced carbon composites and silicates and a Moon Express PECO rocket engine. MX-1 A single engine robotic spacecraft. The MX-1 has a 30 kg payload capacity. MX-2 A two-stage robotic spacecraft with a 30 kg payload capacity. MX-5 A 5-engine, platform configuration that can include MX-1 or MX-2 staged system. The MX-5 has a 150 kg payload capacity. MX-9 A 9-engine platform configuration, designed for sample return. The MX-9 has over a 500 kg payload capacity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Blue Origin has a reusable sub-orbital rockets. (New Sheppard) It will launch once a week. <\/p>\n
New Glenn is a upcoming reusable rocket to low earth orbit. <\/p>\n
