The image above is part of a video taken last week showing the far side of the Moon by Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost spacecraft. The spacecraft is about 120 kilometers above the lunar surface. You can see the video here.
Regarding the video, the company noted:
In this orbit, the team will experience planned rolling comms blackouts as Blue Ghost goes around the far side of the Moon. When on the near side, the team will continue to downlink data and finalize the plan for our next maneuver that will get Blue Ghost even closer to the lunar surface and keep us right on track for landing on March 2.
