The Blue Ghost lunar lander, managed by Texas company Firefly Aerospace, touched down Sunday morning on the moon's near side with NASA's scientific instruments to study the surrounding environment.

Blue Ghost’s goal is to operate there for 14 days, including up to five hours of the long and brutally cold lunar night. Some of Blue Ghost’s payloads will demonstrate new technologies.
