Firefly Aerospace Moon Landing
Private US Company Lands on Moon in Historic Commercial Exploration Milestone
On Sunday, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander successfully touched down on the moon's surface. The confirmation came from the company's Mission Control in Austin, Texas. The landing site was near Mons Latreille, a volcanic feature in Mare Crisium, on the moon's northeastern near side. The spacecraft was described as "stable and upright" by CEO Jason Kim after landing. This achievement makes Blue Ghost Mission 1 the first private lander to reach the moon without crashing or tipping over, following Intuitive Machines' similar success in February 2024.
