The Boeing Human Landing System was submitted to NASA in early November of 2019. The lander consists of a descent and ascent stage with the descent stage being able to deorbit the lander which eliminates the need for a third transfer stage. The lander is designed to be launched on an SLS Block 1B rather than assembled in multiple launches, reducing the number of mission critical events from 11 to 5, reducing mission complexity. The lander would also not require the Gateway and could dock with Orion directly in order to allow for a simpler mission profile. The lander would reuse key technologies from Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, which would allow systems like life support, the pressure vessel, and avionics system to be flight tested and human rater before being integrated into the lander.
