  Firefly Aerospace on Monday announced the conclusion of its Blue Ghost lunar lander mission, declaring it the first "fully successful" commercial operation on the moon.

The Blue Ghost lander, developed by Firefly Aerospace, has successfully completed its historic mission, meeting all 100% of its objectives. This mission was significant as it was the first time a commercial company attempted a lunar landing, aiming to deliver payloads to the Moon's surface. The lander, named after the rare Blue Ghost firefly, was part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, which seeks to foster a lunar economy by involving private companies in lunar exploration. The mission not only demonstrated Firefly's capability in space technology but also marked a step forward in the broader goal of sustainable lunar exploration and potential future human missions.
