Overview

• Blue Ghost became the first private lunar lander to successfully complete a mission without crashing, marking a significant milestone for commercial space exploration.
• The lander operated for two weeks on the Moon's surface, conducting 10 NASA-backed experiments, including studies of lunar regolith, heat flow, and Earth's magnetosphere.
• Stunning footage of Blue Ghost's soft landing captured unprecedented detail of its thrusters interacting with the lunar surface, providing valuable data for future missions.
• The mission concluded with a final transmission as the lander entered the extreme cold of the lunar night, which its solar-powered systems could not survive.
• Firefly Aerospace plans to build on this success with annual lunar missions, advancing technology for NASA and other future space exploration efforts.
