Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander has entered lunar orbit, capturing stunning images of the Moon, and is preparing for its landing on 2 March, carrying NASA experiments to study the lunar surface.

Firefly Aerospace confirmed Feb. 13 that its Blue Ghost 1 lander entered orbit around the moon, performing a 4-minutes, 15-second burn of its reaction control system thrusters starting at 8:51 p.m ...

“Starting at 7:51 p.m. CST on February 13, the team completed a 4 minute, 15 second Lunar Orbit Insertion burn with Blue Ghost’s RCS thrusters and main engine to enter an elliptical orbit ...

Blue Ghost was designed to operate on the surface of the moon for one lunar day, or about two Earth weeks. Then, the sun will set on the moon and the lander's batteries will deplete within a few ...

In this video, we explore why the Moon orbits Earth. Learn about the forces of gravity and the dynamics between our planet and its natural satellite that keep the Moon in motion around us.
