Blue Ghost Lunar Lander, Firefly Aerospace, has been nominated for Via Satellite’s Satellite Technology of the Year. In March 2025, Firefly Aerospace became the first private company to successfully land on the lunar surface. While carrying 10 instruments for NASA, Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 demonstrated commercial agility, technical endurance, and groundbreaking science in surpassing its mission requirements. Firefly’s Blue Ghost stands out for its “dual-use” capability, including successful robotic drilling that accessed deeper lunar strata than any prior mission and the first-ever tracking of GPS signals on the Moon.
