Blue Ghost aced its lunar landing attempt on Sunday (March 2), setting down close to Mons Latreille, a solitary lunar peak in the vast basin Mare Crisium ("Sea of Crises") in the northeastern region of the moon's near side.
And the spacecraft is already getting to work, starting up its science payloads and capturing amazing images of its surroundings and the distant Earth from the lunar surface.
Pretty slick landing, they made it look easy. Got the autonomous landing curve down pat.
ReplyDeleteSome of the best moon landing video ever. Hopefully the next lander will surpass even this.
