Ghost Ghost Lander successfully completed the historical Mondry Mission
Firefly Aerospace Ghost Trade Trade Trade Ghost has gone dark as planned on the moon, but it is not before sending spectacular views of the moon sunset
After delivering NASA science and technology after NASA CLPS (CLASS Lunar Payload Services), Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Miss Mission 1 Lander caught this image of the moon.
Firefly aerospace ghost Lunar Lunar Lunar’s historical mission is over.
Electric solar Ghost blue Dark evening went on evening (March 16) After setting the sun in his moon, two weeks of surface operations Moon.
“We test all systems in the plant and we simulated all mission scenarios to reach this point”, “Blue Ghost Chief Engineers Coogan said Firefly statement today (March 17) announced the end of the mission.

“But what sets this group apart is the passion and commitment of each other,” he added. “Our teams can be younger than nationwide and companies that tried moon landings in front of me.
Ghost blue mission, called “ghost pilots in the sky”. It was the company’s first lunar effort. The flight was supported by the NASA Moon Trade Services (CLPS) program, which puts the scientific gears of the agency in the ground robotics. Again Astronauts on the moon a few years from here.
Ghost was carried by blue 10 NASA PoengersHe successfully handed them to a basaltic plain around the Moon next to the Moon, Mare Crisium (“Sea crises”) On March 2. A successful touch was second by a private Lunar Lander after intuitive machines Odysseus vehicle In February 2024. Odysseus worked on the moon over seven days on the surface of the moon.
The mission plans used these blue ghosts and science tools to act for a moon day – about two weeks of the earth. And that happened, actually, today, declares “ghost pilots in the sky”.
“After the landing of the moon, the campfire immediately moved to surface operations, all 10 NASA charges can be captured by most science as possible on Lunefly Jason Kim Kim.
“We are so proud of the demonstrations that enables Blue Ghost, the first time on the Moon GPS signals below Robotically drilling He has entered deeper than ever, “Kim said.” Thank you for the NASA CLPS initiative and the White House Administration allows Firefly to serve as a bed for this mission. The honor has been allowed to allow future missions to protect the science and technology experiments that protect the moon, Brand And beyond. “
Ghost blue was also able to observe “Blood worm Moon“The full moon eclipse from 13 to 14 March. But thanks to his unique view, Lander saw this dramatic event Solar eclipseSnapping a Photo of “Diamond Ring” That fuestor shared with the world.
Lander 119 Gigabyte (GB) data-gigabyte (GB) includes 51 GB of science, Sunday, Sunday, 19:15 (2315 GMT), by butterfly on Sunday.
The last blue schedule of Ghost were fruitful. March 16 captured images of moon sunset, NASA Lunar powder because of the influences of solar influences, which produced a lunar horizon Apollo 17“Firefly wrote in the statement.” Following the sunset, the blue served 5 hours into the moon night and continued to catch the images of the dust behavior after sunset. “
It was part of a wave of exploration of the private moon “Ghosts of Heaven”. For example, blue ghost launched on January 15 Along with another private Lunar Lander, the resilience of Tokyo’s Ispace, is expected to make his touch attempt June 5.
And the second moon Lander of intuitive machines, the so-called Athena, rose on 26 February 26 and landed next to the South Pole of the Moon On March 6. However, Athena, the CLPS mission was also flying, he did his side, touching it and then declared dead March 7th.
Exploration setup will continue in the coming years if everything is planning. Firefly is already expected Mission to the second moon, Starting in 2026 Expected CLPS effort. This flight will send the blue ghost on the side of the moon and “Elytra Dark” spacecraft “in orbit around the moon.
