Firefly Aerospace Expands Data Collection from Blue Ghost Mission 1

Firefly Aerospace has announced a $10 million contract addendum under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative for Blue Ghost Mission 1. The mission collected nearly 120 gigabytes of data during transit, landing, and operations, including images of solar eclipse and sunset. Firefly will share the data with NASA and the scientific community to inform future missions. The company’s engineering, manufacturing, and test facilities are co-located in central Texas, enabling rapid innovation. Firefly is the only commercial company to launch a satellite to orbit with approximately 24-hour notice and achieve a fully successful landing on the Moon. The company’s small- to medium-lift launch vehicles, lunar landers, and orbital vehicles are built with common flight-proven technologies to enable speed, reliability, and cost efficiencies for each mission.
