Blue Ghost lands on the moon
Last week, private American startup Firefly Aerospace’s lunar lander, Blue Ghost, landed on the moon. The lander aims to analyse the soil samples on the moon for NASA’s Artemis program. It even has 10 NASA payloads onboard. This landing makes Firefly Aerospace the second private company to land on the moon. The Resilience Lander by Japanese startup iSpace, which was launched along with Blue Ghost, is expected to land a few months later.
