"April 29, 2025: Following a nominal liftoff of Firefly’s Alpha rocket, there was a mishap during first stage separation for the FLTA006 mission that impacted the Stage 2 Lightning engine nozzle. We are working with our Lockheed Martin customer, the Space Force, and FAA to conduct a thorough investigation .."

Latest update: Firefly has removed the mention of "lower than planned orbit" in the latest post, suggesting that LM400 Demo satellite might not reach the orbit instead...

Interesting lessons learned by Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander.

1) Temperature swings on the moon "were really, really crazy."
2) Geographic features of the moon also affect temperature variations.
3) Special and unique battery designs will be needed to survive at night on the moon.

Firefly is now qualifying and assembling flight hardware for Blue Ghost Mission-2, and is expecting to execute annual missions to the moon. space.com/space-exploration/pr #space #moon #moonlanding #FireflyAerospace #nasa #blueghost

Blue Ghost Mission 1 has completed more than 14 days of Lunar surface operations - a total of 10 NASA payloads, transmitting more than 119GB of data back to Earth, including 51GB of science and technology data.

Work is progressing on qualifying and assembling flight hardware for Blue Ghost Mission 2 which will conduct operations in lunar orbit and on the far side of the Moon.

Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode.
Goodnight friends.

Blue Ghost’s final message as it signs off from the Moon

Text reading "
Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode
Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data,
I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars.
Here, I will outlast your mightiest rivers, your tallest mountains, and perhaps even your species as we know it.
But it is remarkable that a species might be outlasted by its own ingenuity.
Here lies Blue Ghost, a testament to the team who,
with the loving support of their families and friends,
built and operated this machine and its payloads,
to push the capabilities and knowledge of humanity one small step further.
Per aspera ad astra!
Love, Blue Ghost
