$Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1$

Watch our Blue Ghost Mission 2 lunar lander come together! This timelapse captures the assembly of our lander's main structural and fluid components. Next up, integrating avionics, payloads, and engines. Our Riders 2 the Dark mission features two vehicles: our Blue Ghost lander stacked atop our Elytra orbiter. Each is assembled separately before stacking at the launch site, creating a 22-foot-tall spacecraft—more than 3X the height of our Mission 1 lander. Stay tuned for Elytra stacking in the coming weeks!

You don’t go on a long road trip without your charger and a trip to the Moon is no exception! Blue Ghost’s 4 batteries are now charged up and ready for the journey ahead. We’ll utilize these batteries as needed throughout the mission when sunlight is limited, such as in the lunar morning and lunar night. #BGM1

First flight dome complete for Antares 330 & MLV! Built on our Automated Fiber Placement machine, this breakthrough tackles one of the biggest challenges of composite manufacturing by allowing us to rapidly develop complex domes that are both lighter and stronger. Learn more about how we were able to accomplish this feat from our lead structures engineer.
