Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander successfully touched down on the moon early Sunday, delivering 10 NASA experiments and supplies. The Texas-built lander launched in January on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and is part of NASA’s plan to work with private companies to explore the moon. NASA paid $101 million for the delivery, plus $44 million for the science and tech onboard. Two more landers, including one from Intuitive Machines, are set to land soon.
