Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander

Why in News:- US spacecraft Blue Ghost lands on the Moon

About

  • A U.S. company successfully landed its spacecraft on the Moon on Sunday, marking only the second private mission to achieve this milestone— and the first to do so in an upright position.
  • Nicknamed Ghost Riders in the Sky,” the mission is part of a NASA-industry partnership aimed at reducing costs and supporting Artemis, the program designed to return astronauts to the Moon.

  • Blue Ghost is expected to capture high-definition imagery of a total eclipse on March 14, when Earth blocks the Sun from the Moon’s horizon.

Pro Tip :- Such topics are asked in two ways – first the name of agency is asked linked with the project, secondly the purpose of the project is asked , other minute details are not that necessary.
