The Blue Ghost landing module went into space along with another lunar apparatus on board the Falcon 9 launch vehicle on January 15, as Focus already wrote.

Now the module rotates around the Earth and will do it for about 2 weeks. After that, he will launch his engines and go on a trip to the moon, which will take 4 days. The Blue Ghost lander will then fire its engines again to enter orbit around the Moon, where it will remain for 16 days.. Only after that the module will try to land on the surface of the moon.

Firefly Aerospace showed a photo of our planet, which was made by the Blue Ghost module when he launched the engines to increase its orbit.

The Blue Ghost lander is flying to the Moon as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and is expected to deliver several test technologies and important scientific instruments to the Earth's satellite.. When Blue Ghost lands on the Moon, it will launch NASA scientific instruments that will study the lunar regolith, which is dust, the radiation environment on the Moon and how the solar wind interacts with the Earth's magnetosphere. The lander will also deploy an array of laser reflectors that will help scientists more accurately measure the distance from Earth to the Moon..

Firefly Aerospace's lander will be able to operate on the lunar surface for one lunar day or two Earth weeks. When the moonlit night arrives, the module's batteries will be discharged within a few hours.

Before this happens, the landing module will have several hours to capture the sunset on the moon with the help of on -board cameras and measure how the lunar regolit reacts to twilight and sunset on the moon.

We remind you that physicists with the help of the most difficult particle in the universe and the most powerful particle accelerator in the world tried to destroy the special theory of Einstein's relativity. What came of it, the focus has already written.

Focus also wrote that a recent study casts doubt on the main theory explaining how the Moon was formed. Scientists believe that the theory is only partially.
