"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 .."
Mission mode change detected, now in Monument Mode.
Goodnight friends.
Blue Ghost’s final message as it signs off from the Moon
High resolution image of the eclipse seen from the Moon by #BlueGhost. You can also spot Mercury (left) and Venus (right) just above the eclipse! This is amazing!!!

I've been busy reconstructing the landing profile of #BlueGhost from the amazing landing video.
Relative to the LRO NAC mosaic from Quickmap, my landing coordinate estimate is 18.56349°N, 61.80990°E

#FireFlyAerospace #BlueGhost Spacecraft’s First Photo From the Moon After Historic Lunar Landing
MAR 02, 2025

A U.S. company successfully landed its spacecraft on the moon Sunday, marking only the second private mission to achieve the milestone — and the first to do so upright. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/03/02/world/private-us-spaceship-moon-landing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #firefly #blueghost #moon #nasa #artemis #fireflyaerospace
Nailed the landing. Earth shines over the moon in first photos from private Blue Ghost lander.
Perspective: "We're all in that picture."

With the #BGM-1 lander from #FireflyAerospace now safely on the surface of the Moon, we've had some time to take a closer look at the @radiotelescoop 's observation of the #BGM-1 signal during the landing, which shows several events during the landing sequence. (Thanks to @tammojan and @telkamp for helping running the telescope today.)
