#ghostriders
Our #GhostRiders completed another lunar orbit maneuver with a 3 minute, 18 second burn early this morning. This maneuver moved the lander from a high elliptical orbit to a much lower elliptical orbit around the Moon. Shortly after the burn, Blue Ghost captured incredible footage of the Moon's far side, about 120 km above the surface. In this orbit, the team will experience planned rolling comms blackouts as Blue Ghost goes around the far side of the Moon. When on the near side, the team will continue to downlink data and finalize the plan for our next maneuver that will get Blue Ghost even closer to the lunar surface and keep us right on track for landing on March 2. #BGM1

Blue Ghost reached her final pit stop in Cape Canaveral before our #GhostRiders embark on the main leg of our journey to the Moon! As we prepare for launch in mid-January, join us for a live teleconference with NASA to learn more about the tech and science flying on board the mission. Tune in here at 12 pm CST today:
