Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost spacecraft, launched on January 15, has captured breathtaking close-ups of the Moon’s surface. Currently on a 45-day mission, the spacecraft aims to collect critical data as part of NASA’s lunar exploration effort.
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost spacecraft is providing humanity with unprecedented views of the Moon’s surface. Launched on January 15, the spacecraft is currently on a 45-day mission to gather vital data for NASA’s lunar exploration program.
On February 13, the spacecraft successfully entered lunar orbit, marking a key milestone in its journey. During one of its engine burns, Blue Ghost captured rare footage of the far side of the Moon — a region that is invisible from Earth due to the Moon’s synchronous rotation.
Having traveled 3.54 million kilometers, Blue Ghost is now set to make its historic landing on the Moon’s surface. Along with the spacecraft, 10 scientific instruments will be deployed to collect crucial data. These tools will also gather Moon dust and take x-ray readings to help scientists learn more about the Moon’s composition and its geological history.
This mission is part of NASA’s ongoing efforts to learn more about the Moon and lay the groundwork for future lunar exploration, including potential human missions.
