Blue Ghost
Our first Blue Ghost mission was awarded by NASA as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative and will deliver a suite of 10 NASA-sponsored payloads, as well as other commercial payloads, to the lunar surface in 2024. The initial award was over $93 million dollars. These payloads will operate using lander-provided data and power resources through transit to the Moon, for an entire lunar day, and into the lunar night in Mare Crisium. This exciting mission will support scientific lunar research and will contribute to developing a sustainable presence on the Moon.
As the most powerful platform in its class, Blue Ghost will fly yearly lunar surface missions to diverse locations including the lunar poles and far side.
