Blue Origin Demo of Deorbit, Descent, and Landing Sensors (BODDL-TP)

This Game Changing Development project matured precision deorbit, descent, and landing sensors for lunar missions. The team integrated terrain-relative navigation, navigation Doppler lidar, and altimetry sensors and conducted two flight tests at approximately 100 km aboard Blue Origin New Shepard before lunar mission implementation. The completed demonstration supports robust, repeatable lunar landing and future CLPS operations.
