Firefly Aerospace successfully carried out the Blue Ghost Mission 1, which landed on the Moon on March 2, 2025. This marked the second private lunar landing. The mission was launched aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket on January 15, 2025, and it carried ten scientific instruments, including a lunar soil analyzer. The mission will also study lunar dust behaviour under solar influence and capture significant lunar events like a total eclipse and lunar sunset. Firefly Aerospace played a key role in this pioneering lunar mission.
