History was written tonight on the moon: The Blue Ghost “Blue Ghost” of the American Firefly managed to land on the moon soil, in which Firefly became the second private company in history to complete a soft landing on the moon. The landing occurred at 2:35 am (USA Center watch), after a journey that continued since Janar.
The task, made under NASA’s Clip and Artemis plans, is part of the American effort to use robotic trackers to map the moon and collect data, as part of the preparations for the return of humans to the moon later in the decade. The “Blue Gust” tracker is designed to collect critical information over the moon, which will help manufactured manned tasks in the future.
A private breakthrough in moon study
Blue Gust’s successful landing is a significant milestone, as so far many attempts by private companies to land on the moon have failed. Now, with Firefly’s joining success, an opening is opened to additional tasks in private funding, which can accelerate the moon research and even reduce its costs.
According to the company’s CEO Jason Kim, success is just the beginning: “Unlimited options are facing us.
Future tasks and new technologies
To overcome the media challenges of this task, Firefly will send another spacecraft to the moon called ElyTra, which will serve as a communications relay station. Objective: To enable data broadcasting from the earth to Earth, as its antennas will not be able to vote directly toward the earth.
Kim noted that ElyTra can also carry cameras and sensors, which will allow a more detailed and advanced map of the moon. He said such information may be of great value for scientific, government and commercial bodies.
