NASA confirms Moon landing by a private American spacecraft
Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost mission successfully makes a Moon landing, marking a milestone for NASA and its commercial partners.
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 made a landing near Mons Latreille in Mare Crisium on the Moon’s near side, and teams expect about one lunar day of surface operations. They include a subsurface drill that can reach down about 10 feet (3 meters), a sampler for lunar soil, a landing plume camera suite, a radiation tolerant computer, a magnetotelluric sounder, and a Global Navigation Satellite System ( GNSS) receiver. The same tools used to understand charged lunar grains inform static control in clean rooms and the design of materials that resist wear in dusty places.
