The blue origin lawsuit prompted NASA to suspend performance with SpaceX worth $3 billion

Share with friends and circle of friends with wechat scanning QR code < / P > < p > on August 20. According to foreign media reports, after the lawsuit of blue origin, a space company owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, NASA announced that it would suspend the performance of the $3 billion lunar manned lander contract signed with American space exploration technology company SpaceX before November 1. The judge of the United States Federal Claims Court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the case on October 14 < p > < / P > < p > after blue origin and defense contractor dynetics filed a lawsuit against NASA's award of the lunar manned lander contract only to SpaceX, the U.S. Federal Claims Court issued a timetable on August 19. This schedule sets the deadline for blue origin and NASA to submit relevant documents. The oral debate of the lawsuit is scheduled to take place on October 14 < p > the timetable also includes NASA's statement that it will "voluntarily suspend the performance of the contract" before November 1. This shows that less than three weeks after the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) rejected the protest of blue origin, NASA will stop performing the HLS contract again. Although these works have been suspended since the end of April < p > NASA said in a statement: "NASA voluntarily suspended the performance of the contract with SpaceX on the manned landing system (HLS), which is valid from August 19 to November 1. In exchange for the temporary suspension, the parties agreed to speed up the litigation schedule, which will end on November 1. NASA officials are continuing to work with the Justice Department to review the details of the case and look forward to a timely resolution of the matter. " < p > prior to the announcement of the case schedule, NASA Director Bill Nelson said in an interview that he expected the details of the trial time of the case to be clarified in the next two weeks. However, he added that it was the Department of justice, not NASA itself, that dealt with the case in the federal court. "It's not something we can control," Nelson said. This is an issue in the legal system and is currently being dealt with by the Ministry of justice. " < p > Nelson warned that the lawsuit could have a significant impact on the entire Artemis return to the moon, leading to "further delay". "In essence, the case may involve a lot of time-consuming and laborious evidence," he added < p > Blue origin initially competed with SpaceX and defense contractor dynetics for two contracts expected to be awarded by NASA. However, after the U.S. Congress cut NASA's budget, the agency announced in April 2021 that SpaceX would become the only contractor for the HLS project. That month, blue origin and dynetics submitted a 50 page protest document to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). In July this year, Gao rejected the protest and found that NASA did not violate procurement law or other regulations when deciding to award SpaceX contract only < p > Blue origin challenged Gao's ruling and formally sued NASA to the U.S. Federal Claims Court on August 13, claiming that it unfairly awarded the contract to SpaceX. The company argued that the lawsuit was "an attempt to remedy the defects found in the procurement process of NASA's human landing system (HLS)." < p > the lawsuit further raised doubts about NASA's ability to achieve the goal set by the previous administration, that is, to return humans to the lunar surface in 2024. NASA's inspector general's office previously reported that the spacesuit required for the return to the moon program could not be ready before April 2025. He added that these spacesuits are only one of several factors that "prevent landing in 2024" < p > when asked about the deadline of 2024, Nelson said that he did not know whether it was still possible to achieve the expected goals. He believed that HLS litigation and efforts to win more funds for HLS projects could lead to the extension of the mission( Small) < / P > < p >
