Firefly Aerospace's first mission to the moon is poised to launch in the early morning hours on Jan. 15. The company's Blue Ghost lunar lander is sharing a payload bay with another mission to the moon's surface,

The Austin-area space firm’s Blue Ghost mission will gather more information about deep space and lunar environments for eventual crewed missions.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1, part of NASA’s Artemis campaign, is set to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, targeting the Moon to carry out crucial science experiments. These experiments will test technologies from lunar drilling to radiation-resistant computing,

As part of its Artemis campaign, NASA is developing a series of increasingly complex lunar deliveries and missions to ultimately build a sustained human presence at the moon for decades to come. Through the agency's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative,

Firefly Aerospace's soon-to-launch Blue Ghost moon lander will help NASA better understand our home planet, and how it responds to space weather.

In a significant leap for lunar exploration, NASA has partnered with Firefly Aerospace to send six experiments to the Moon's Gruithuisen Domes by 2028, exploring ancient lava flows and testing new technologies that pave the way for future manned missions.

Two companies, Firefly Aerospace and ispace, are aiming to make the second and third successful private landings on the moon - and both are launching on the same Falcon 9 rocket
