Blue Ghost successfully lands on the moon for NASA

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully touched down on the moon, marking the first private spacecraft to land upright. NASA paid $101 million for the delivery and $44 million for onboard experiments, part of its commercial lunar program. The lander, which carries 10 experiments, began sending images from the moon's surface shortly after landing. It aims to support future lunar exploration and business opportunities, with two more landers expected to arrive soon. Blue Ghost's successful landing follows previous failures by other companies and highlights the growing interest in lunar missions. NASA plans to continue supporting private lunar landers, aiming for two missions each year.
