Blue Ghost Advances NASA’s Cutting-Edge Lunar Tech

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander snaps its 1st photos of the moon (images)
On Monday (Jan. 27), Texas-based Firefly released two photos of the moon that Blue Ghost captured from Earth orbit. One shows the natural satellite all alone, a small grayish dot in an empty black sea; the other is a selfie, showing the moon glowing above some of Blue Ghost's golden hardware.
The Blue Ghost Lunar Lander Is Now Headed to the Moon: Here's What to Know
Blue Ghost's main mission will be research. It will hang out in Earth's orbit for 25 days taking measurements and waiting for the right time to fling itself to the moon. After four days in transit, Blue Ghost will spend 16 days in lunar orbit collecting more data before descending to Mare Crisium, one of the largest basins on the moon.
