Private lunar lander Blue Ghost falls silent on the moon after a 2-week mission

It’s lights out for the first private lunar lander to pull off a fully successful moon mission. Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander fell silent over the weekend, wrapping up two weeks of science experiments for NASA. The end came as the sun set at the moon, no longer providing energy for the lander’s solar panels. Blue Ghost launched from Florida in January as part of NASA’s commercial lunar delivery program. It landed at the moon’s far northeastern edge earlier this month. It carried a drill, vacuum and other science and tech instruments for NASA.
