Close-ups of the far side of the Moon beamed by to Earth by Blue Ghost spacecraft ahead of historic landing



Firefly Aerospace has released video showing stunning images of the moon captured by its Blue Ghost lunar lander, currently orbiting the Moon.

On February 24, the Texas-based company conducted the spacecraft’s third lunar orbit maneuver, placing it in a near-circular low lunar orbit.

The footage, filmed about 100 km above the lunar surface, shows the far side of the Moon and Blue Ghost’s thrusters.

The spacecraft will attempt a descent on March 2, aiming to become the second private spacecraft to soft-land on the Moon.
