Firefly Aerospace becomes the first commercial company to successfully land on the Moon with no technical issues, with its Blue Ghost Mission 1 (3/2/2025)


Blue Ghost Mission 1 was a robotic Moon landing mission by Firefly Aerospace (Firefly) that launched on January 15, 2025, and soft-landed on the lunar surface on March 2, 2025, at 08:34 UTC. Firefly thus became the first commercial company to complete a fully successful soft landing on the Moon. As part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, the mission delivered ten scientific and technological experiments to advance future human exploration under the Artemis program. About 5 hours after lunar sunset on March 16, 2025, the solar-powered lander’s batteries depleted and communications were lost. The mission’s end was officially declared at 23:25 UTC.
