Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost Moon Mission Update: "We're Still in Earth Orbit!"
This Week 2 mission update brings a "lesson" in orbital mechanics and thermal dynamics. Our Ghost Riders break down why the scenic route is beneficial as Blue Ghost travels to the Moon!
The Blue Ghost lander is seeking to land in Mare Crisium to deliver ten NASA science instruments and technology demonstrations to the Moon. They will perform numerous science and technology demonstrations, including lunar subsurface drilling, sample collection, and X-ray imaging of Earth’s magnetic field to advance research for future human missions on the Moon and provide insights into how space weather impacts the planet. Mare Crisium is a lunar mare located in the Moon's Crisium basin, just northeast of Mare Tranquillitatis. It was formed by the flooding of basaltic lava that filled an ancient asteroid impact.
