A landing module called Blue Ghost, which was created by the American company Firefly Aerospace entered orbit around the moon on February 14 after a flight in space, which lasted almost a month. After this significant event, the chamber of the landing module took amazing photos of the surface of the moon, writes Space.

The Blue Ghost private landing module launched its engines for four minutes and 15 seconds to enter orbit around the moon, where it will circle around the Earth's satellite for almost two weeks. Then he will try to make a successful landing on the surface of the Earth's satellite on March 2.

With the help of his cameras, Blue Ghost noted a significant event, taking a somewhat amazing photo of the Earth's satellite from close range, on which the surface is visible completely covered with craters. Their photos also created a video.

As Focus already wrote, the Blue Ghost landing module went into space on board the Falcon 9 launch vehicle on January 15. This module should deliver 10 scientific and technological experiments of NASA to the moon, which will help to better understand the local environment and prepare for the landing of astronauts for the Earth's satellite in 2027.

After 2 weeks, Blue Ghost will start its engines again in order to try to make a successful landing in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sea of \u200b\u200bcrises on the moon. This sea has a diameter of 556 km and formed more than 3.5 billion years ago on the visible side of the moon.

If the landing is successful, then it will definitely go down in history. After all, today only one private landing module was able to successfully land on the moon. This was done by the apparatus of the American company Intuitive Machines in February 2024. He landed in the area of \u200b\u200bthe South Pole of the moon.

Last month, on board the Falcon 9 Blue Ghost launch vehicle was not one. Together with him, another private landing module called Resilience went to the moon. It was developed by the Japanese ISPACE company. But resilience has a longer flight trajectory to the moon, and therefore will reach orbit around the Earth's satellite only after about 3.5 months.

There are no useful loads for NASA on board the resilience module, but it will also conduct scientific research on the moon. This is the second Ispace attempt to put its apparatus on the moon. The first landing module of this company reached the moon in March 2023, but crashed during an attempt to land in a month.

As Focus already wrote, shortly after the start of the flight to the moon, the Blue Ghost module took an amazing photograph of the Earth from Cosmos.

Focus also wrote about how many people were able to walk on the surface of the moon more than 50 years ago as part of the NASA "

Focus wrote that scientists discovered such ancient black holes that they should not exist.
