Firefly's Blue Ghost Lunar Lander Nears Historic Moon Landing

The spacecraft, part of NASA's CLPS initiative, is set to touch down on March 2 near Mare Crisium carrying 10 NASA payloads for lunar research.

Firefly's Blue Ghost lander launched on January 15 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and is now en route to the Moon.
The mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative under the Artemis program, aimed at advancing lunar exploration and supporting future crewed missions.
Blue Ghost is carrying 10 NASA scientific instruments and technology demonstrations, including tools to study the Moon's environment and test landing technologies.
The lander is expected to touch down near Mare Crisium on March 2, with live coverage starting at 2:30 a.m. EST on NASA+ and Firefly's YouTube channel.
This marks Firefly Aerospace's first lunar mission, with the goal of paving the way for regular robotic and crewed lunar exploration.
