Watch Historic Moment as Blue Ghost Executes Perfect Moon Landing on Interesting Engineering. Explore the latest in technology!

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter managed to capture a photo of Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander on the surface of the Moon, in a stunning instance of the orbiter’s surveillance power.

"Y'all stuck the landing — we're on the moon." A Firefly Aerospace mission control engineer confirmed a successful lunar touchdown of its pioneering Blue Ghost robotic spacecraft in the early hours of March 2.

The mission, aptly named “Ghost Riders in the Sky,” touched down in Mare Crisium, a large impact site filled with basaltic lava on the Moon. Blue Ghost pulled off a precision landing, touching down within a 328-foot (100-meter) target next to a volcanic feature called Mons Latreille.

Intuitive Machines' Athena could be the second U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon in a week after Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost made it Sunday.

Checkout this insane footage of NASA's spacecraft landing on the moon! After identifying surface hazards and selecting a safe landing site, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost spacecraft landed directly over the target in Mare Crisium.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost spacecraft chronicled its moon landing on Sunday morning (March 2), capturing stunning footage of its landmark descent.

Firefly Aerospace released video of the Blue Ghost lunar lander as it made its final descent and touched down on the surface of the moon.

Texas-based Firefly Aerospace, the second private-sector company to soft-land a spacecraft on the moon, released stunning footage from the Blue Ghost’s touchdown on Sunday.

Firefly Aerospace's lander reached lunar soil early Sunday morning, after a 2.8-million-mile journey lasting 45 days

Blue Ghost runs on solar power, the reason it will only operate for two weeks. Shortly after the sun sets at its location, the temperature will drop rapidly (the moon is essentially airless), plummeting to as low as 300 degrees below zero during the two-week-long lunar night.

Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost has landed on the Moon, delivering NASA’s technology for a 14-day mission. The lander has already achieved deep-space navigation breakthroughs and will now test lunar drilling,
