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.
