I love you to the Moon, but not back - I'm staying there," 💙 Blue Ghost. We captured our first shots of the Moon following a successful Lunar Orbit Insertion. The lander will soon begin to circularize its orbit in preparation for landing on March 2. #BGM1
Big win for our #GhostRiders! Last night, the team successfully completed Blue Ghost's first burn with our RCS thrusters and main engine, hitting within 2 mm/s of our target delta V on the first try! This burn increased the lander's perigee (the closest point to Earth) and gets us ready for our next critical maneuver. Take a look at these engines firing with invisible plumes in the vacuum of space! #BGM1
