Thank you, Blue Ghost!⁣ ⁣ After landing on the Moon on March 2, FireflyAerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 concluded its mission on March 16. ⁣ ⁣ The lunar lander delivered 10 NASA science and technology instruments to the Mare Crisium basin on the near side of the Moon. All 10 NASA payloads successfully activated, collected data, and performed operations on the Moon. Throughout the mission, Blue Ghost transmitted 119 gigabytes of data back to Earth, including 51 gigabytes of science and technology data. ⁣ ⁣ The data will benefit humanity by providing insights into how space weather and other cosmic forces may impact Earth. Establishing an improved awareness of the lunar environment ahead of future crewed missions will help plan for long-duration surface operations under Artemis.⁣ ⁣ Credit: Firefly Aerospace⁣ ⁣ #LunarSunset #Sunset #LunarLander #GhostRiders #BGM1 #Firefly #Space #NASA #Artemis #Moon #STEM
