#blueghost
Three months ago today, our team of Fireflies made history as the 1st commercial company to successfully land on the Moon! Watch #BlueGhost descend from four different camera angles and relive that incredible moment when we softly touched down on the lunar surface.

Shortly after landing, #BlueGhost deployed four tethered Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) electrodes to the surface and a 8-foot mast above our top deck. Look closely in the video below! These instruments will allow NASA and the Southwest Research Institute team to study the deep interior of the Moon - up to 2/3rds the distance to the Moon's center - to learn more about the structure and composition of the Moon’s mantle.

Just over 4 days on the Moon's surface and #BlueGhost is checking off several science milestones! 8 out of 10 NASA payloads, including LPV, EDS, NGLR, RAC, RadPC, LuGRE, LISTER, and SCALPSS, have already met their mission objectives with more to come. Lunar PlanetVac for example successfully collected, transferred, and sorted lunar soil from the Moon using pressurized nitrogen gas. Congrats to the Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company and NASA team! Follow along for more #BGM1 updates:

We have a few more integrated #BlueGhost payloads to show before we ship for environmental testing! Next up is the Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) developed by Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company. LPV will deploy to the Moon’s surface and demonstrate pneumatic sample collection of lunar regolith by collecting and sorting regolith within its sample collection chamber.
