Go, Blue Ghost!⁣ ⁣ Following a successful launch on Jan. 15, FireflyAerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 is en route to the Moon and will arrive on March 2. ⁣ ⁣ Six NASA payloads aboard the flight are already sending initial data back to Earth. All NASA payloads are healthy, and additional payload data sets are expected during this transit period, as the mission continues its 45-day trajectory before landing on the surface of the Moon.⁣ ⁣ Image description: This is the first image from space of Firefly’s Blue Ghost mission 1 lunar lander as it begins its 45-day transit period to the Moon. The top deck of the lander is visible here with the X-band antenna and NASA’s Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) payload. The perspective is looking at the lander from a camera on one of the solar panels. The background is filled with the darkness of space. ⁣ ⁣ Credit: Firefly Aerospace⁣ ⁣ #BlueGhost #Space #LunarLander #Moon #Lunar #NASA #Firefly #Flight #Spaceflight #Spacecraft #STEM
