Landing of the Blue Ghost: Scientists hope for revolutionary knowledge!

Mare Crisium, Mond - The space world is in turmoil! The commercial moonlander "Blue Ghost" by Firefly Aerospace is on the best way to the landing on the moon, which is planned for March 2, 2025. Around six weeks after the start on January 15, 2025, the team received positive signals in Texas and successfully completed important tests in space. Like firefly aerospace Spend days in an elliptical earth orbit before it reaches the moon and will carry out scientific studies there for 14 days.

The almost three meter high landing landed was started from a Falcon 9 rocket of the space giant SpaceX from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and has already had important stages. After a successful separation from the rocket, "Blue Ghost" made communication connections to his operating center in Cedar Park, Texas, and verified all important systems. "Blue Ghost" will have a large number of NASA instruments on board to carry out various scientific experiments, including exploration drilling and sampling from the moon surface, such as OE24 reported.

extremely promising mission

The mission that is entitled "Ghost Riders in the Sky" feverly excitedly towards a signaling in Mare Crisium, a significant lowlands on the moon. The collected data should not only contribute to scientific knowledge, but also support the preparations for future manned moon missions, which NASA is working on as part of its CLPS program (Commercial Lunar Payoad Services) of up to $ 2.6 billion. "Blue Ghost" is particularly important because NASA plans to carry out the first manned moon landing in 2027 for more than 50 years.

After about two weeks of mission, "Blue Ghost" will capture fascinating pictures of a lunar end and collect valuable information about the behavior of the regolith, the loose rock of the moon. Firefly Aerospace thus shows his commitment to contribute to the return of mankind to the moon and supports the Artemis program for a long-term presence on our earth drabant. This exciting development in space travel opens up new horizons and hopefully many innovative breakthroughs.
