Firefly Aerospace's lunar lander Blue Ghost entered the lunar orbit on February 13.
It is getting ready for its anticipated lunar landing. While lowering its orbit, the lander captured a breathtaking photo of the moon with a part of the probe visible in the foreground.
Firefly posted on X: "Blue Ghost's third and final lunar orbit maneuver is complete! Early this morning, our #GhostRiders performed a 16-second burn with our RCS thrusters to enter a near-circular low lunar orbit."
