Separation test complete for Blue Ghost Mission 2! This test demonstrated the mechanisms on Elytra that release our Dual Payload Attach Fitting and enable the deployment of European Space Agency’s Lunar Pathfinder satellite into lunar orbit following separation of Blue Ghost. More on our next mission to the Moon here:

We love you, Moon. After about a month in transit to the Moon, ’s Blue Ghost lunar lander successfully completed a maneuver that pushed the lander into the Moon’s orbit. Blue Ghost is targeted to land on the Moon on March 2.

I love you to the Moon, but not back - I'm staying there," 💙 Blue Ghost. We captured our first shots of the Moon following a successful Lunar Orbit Insertion. The lander will soon begin to circularize its orbit in preparation for landing on March 2. #BGM1

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

Moon science? Yes. Preparing for our long-term future in space? Also yes. ✅ ✅ The Artemis II lunar flyby mission will give humanity a new perspective on the Moon, and test the systems and technology that will eventually bring astronauts to the lunar surface to stay.

🇺🇸 BLUE ORIGIN'S NEW SHEPARD COMPLETES NS-29 MISSION, TESTS MOON GRAVITY TECH Blue Origin successfully launched its New Shepard NS-29 mission from West Texas, carrying 30 payloads to test lunar technologies. The capsule simulated lunar gravity for two minutes, helping NASA and private companies refine moon exploration tech for Artemis missions. Experiments included studying moon dust behavior, fluid dynamics in space, and fire safety in lunar habitats. This marks New Shepard’s 29th flight, bringing its total payload count to over 175. The mission had been delayed due to avionics issues and weather but launched successfully Tuesday morning. Source: SatNews

Last month, our Blue Ring Pathfinder launched on New Glenn, hitting all mission objectives. The second stage and the BE-3U engines reached insertion with less than 1% deviation from our exact orbital injection target. Designed for multi-mission, multi-orbit mobility, Blue Ring is redefining space maneuverability and operations.

Ever wondered how to turn a napkin sketch into a full lunar program? Just ask Joe Quirk! As Firefly’s "CAD Guy," Joe was one of the first engineers to work on the Blue Ghost mission, helping to design the initial structures for our lunar lander. A native of Bolton, Massachusetts, and a Texas Tech University alum, Joe is especially proud to see the team and lander evolve as we get closer to sending it on it's final roadtrip.
