The American company achieved the first successful moon landing by a private spacecraft last year. Now, it has sent a new mission to the south pole, carrying science instruments for NASA

During his tenure as associate administrator since January 2024, NASA added nearly two dozen new signatories of the Artemis Accords, enabled the first Moon landing through the agency's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative to deliver NASA science to the lunar surface,

Having nailed its own landing, Blue Ghost will now spend a full lunar day (about two weeks) performing research operations, including “lunar subsurface drilling, sample collecti

Acting NASA administrator made the comments just before Firefly Aerospace's private Blue Ghost 1 landed on the moon for the agency.

A four-legged robot from Texas landed squarely on the Moon on 2 March, becoming the first commercial spacecraft to ace a lunar landing. The lander, known as Blue Ghost and built by Firefly Aerospace of Cedar Park, Texas, aims to spend two weeks conducting science experiments provided by NASA.

A robotic lunar lander built by Texas-based company Firefly has successfully landed on the moon making it only the second private-sector company ever to achieve a soft lunar landing. Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao explains why these landings are so rare.

A commercial spacecraft carrying NASA experiments successfully touched down on the moon's surface early Sunday morning, ushering in a new phase of private space exploration.

Firefly Aerospace successfully reached the lunar surface, to be followed in short order by space companies Intuitive Machines and ispace.

More than fifty years passed between the last Apollo mission and the United States' return to the lunar surface, when the first-ever private lander touched down last February.

The Blue Ghost lander descended from lunar orbit on autopilot, aiming for the slopes of an ancient volcanic dome.
