Firefly’s Blue Ghost successfully landed on the moon

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully touched down on the moon early Sunday, marking a significant achievement for the Quebec-based company. The lander carries NASA experiments and Canadian technologies, including a navigation system developed by NGC Aerospace. This landing is notable as it makes Firefly the first private company to land a spacecraft on the moon without crashing. The technology used allows for more precise lunar landings, improving safety and efficiency for future missions. The Blue Ghost's success highlights the growing role of private companies in space exploration, indicating that access to the moon is becoming more available beyond government efforts.
