Firefly Releases Stunning Footage of Blue Ghost Landing on the Moon
The mission, aptly named “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” touched down in Mare Crisium, a large impact site filled with basaltic lava on the Moon. Blue Ghost pulled off a precision landing, touching down within a 328-foot (100-meter) target next to a volcanic feature called Mons Latreille.
The Blue Ghost touchdown kicks off two weeks of around-the-clock research by NASA science and technology payloads.
Firefly Aerospace’s robotic vehicle became the second privately built spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon. It could soon be joined by two more private lunar landers.
