NASA's Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully landed on the moon on March 2, marking a significant achievement for Firefly Aerospace and the U.S. commercial space program. The lander is now stable and communicating with ground control in Texas. Blue Ghost's mission included launching on January 15 and completing various orbital adjustments before landing. It will conduct experiments over the next 14 days, including subsurface drilling and imaging. In addition to Blue Ghost, the Tenacious lunar rover was launched to conduct experiments at the moon's Atlas crater. Together, they carry a total of 15 payloads to gather data and perform scientific tasks.
