Another Elytra mission on the books!

As designed, #BlueGhost did not power up after the lunar night, but the mission is still ongoing! The Firefly team and NASA scientists are now analyzing nearly 120 GB of data from our road trip and surface operations on the Moon, unlocking new insights for future missions. Our last stamp in our Moon passport is now complete — what an incredible journey! #BGM1

It was an honor to have our CEO Jason Kim testify before U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics on how Blue Ghost completed the first fully successful lunar surface mission for our nation since the Apollo era and inspired millions to dream big — a testament to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration CLPS initiative.

#FLTA006 update: the Alpha team is still working with the range to determine our next launch window for Message in a Booster. We've been up against unfavorable wind conditions that exceed safety limits for some critical assets within Space Launch Delta 30. More to come soon. In the meantime, our Alpha rocket and Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 tech demo satellite remain ready for liftoff!

On the road again! We’re pumped to have Blue Origin's Honeybee Robotics hitch another ride to the Moon on Blue Ghost Mission 3. This time we'll bring their rover to help explore the mysteries of the Gruithuisen Domes. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gjV3xmW7

To our #GhostRiders who spent over 3 years making #BlueGhost a reality, to our NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration customer and payload partners who helped give this mission purpose, to our investors for believing in us since the beginning, and finally to our extended Firefly family, including all of you who supported us along the way. Thank you all for Dreaming Big!

Sunsets hit differently on the Moon! More images below of the horizon glow that comes to life just above the Moon’s surface as the sun goes down. This milestone embodies all the achievements from this historic Firefly mission. Thank you #BlueGhost for the final goodbye. Until next time! #BGM1
