We Landed on the Moon! Blue Ghost Week 7 Update | Firefly Aerospace
Firefly Aerospace: "Hear from our Ghost Riders as they react right after Blue Ghost successfully landed on the Moon! This weekly update captures the moment we'll never forget, when our Chief Engineer Will Coogan announced on console, "Y'all stuck the landing, we're on the Moon."
Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1 lander successfully touched down on March 2, 2025, near a volcanic feature within Mare Crisium on the near-side of the Moon with ten NASA science and technology instruments onboard.

This is part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative and Artemis campaign to establish a long-term lunar presence. Blue Ghost Mission 1 will perform 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.
