Blue Ghost Completes First Fully Successful Commercial Moon Mission

Firefly Aerospace's lunar lander transmitted 119 gigabytes of data, captured groundbreaking images, and operated into the lunar night before going silent.

The Blue Ghost lander, part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, achieved the first fully successful commercial moon landing on March 2, 2025.
During its 14-day mission, the lander transmitted 119 gigabytes of data and operated 10 NASA payloads, completing all mission objectives.
Blue Ghost captured historic high-definition images of a lunar sunset, a solar eclipse, and Earth and Venus from the Moon's surface.
The mission included innovative experiments such as lunar subsurface drilling and the study of lunar dust behavior, with findings expected to support future lunar exploration.
The lander operated five hours into the lunar night before falling silent on March 16, and Firefly Aerospace plans an unlikely reactivation attempt in early April.
