United States - February 27, 2025 Low Lunar Orbit – In a breathtaking display of cosmic precision, the spacecraft Blue Ghost completed its third and final lunar orbit maneuver on February 24, 2025, captivating the world with stunning footage of the Moon’s surface. Early that morning, the skilled team of engineers, affectionately dubbed the #GhostRiders, executed a flawless 16-second burn using the craft’s RCS thrusters, securing Blue Ghost into a near-circular low lunar orbit. The mission, now hurtling toward its climax, isn’t slowing down. Up next, the spacecraft is set to perform a daring 19-second Descent Orbit Insertion at its 100-kilometer perilune, marking the beginning of its dramatic descent to Mare Crisium—Blue Ghost’s final resting place—scheduled for March 2. The striking footage, captured shortly after the second lunar orbit maneuver, offers a mesmerizing glimpse of the Moon’s rugged beauty, with promises of more awe-inspiring visuals to come. Earth rise and Earth set have never felt so close, as Blue Ghost beams back images that bring the lunar landscape to life. The BGM1 mission continues to push boundaries, leaving space enthusiasts and scientists alike eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this celestial journey.
