Blue Origin is one of 14 companies that are part of NASAs Commercial Lunar Payload Services program for uncrewed lunar landings.
There are now more countries joining the three space powers United States, Russia, and Europe, including China, India, and the United Arab Emirates, which hopes to become a major player.
NASA has completed a contract modification for what is formally known as Option B of its Human Landing System (HLS) contract with SpaceX.
The mission is the eighth NASA has awarded to date as part of CLPS, but the first to go to the lunar farside.
The award will include both an uncrewed demonstration landing and a crewed landing, much like SpaceXs HLS Option A contract.
