Explanation:
With spacecraft thrusters at top center,
the rugged surface of the Moon lies below the
Blue Ghost
lander in this space age
video frame.
The view of the lunar far side was captured by the
Firefly Aerospace lunar lander on February 24,
following a maneuver to circularize its
orbit about 100 kilometers above the lunar surface.
The robotic lunar lander is
scheduled to
touch down
tomorrow, Sunday, March 2,
at 3:34am Eastern Time in the
Mare Crisium impact basin
on the lunar near side.
In support of the
Artemis campaign,
Blue Ghost is set to deliver science and technology
experiments to the Moon,
part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.
Blue Ghost's mission
on the surface is planned
to operate during the lunar daylight hours at the landing site,
about 14 Earth days.
