This year, the moon will be abuzz with activities as multiple robotic spacecraft prepare to land. The first to attempt landing is the Blue Ghost lunar lander from Firefly Aerospace, scheduled for March 2 at 3:45 a.m. Eastern. Targeting Mare Crisium, this mission will carry 10 scientific payloads for NASA, including instruments for measuring heat flow and cleaning surfaces. This is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Service initiative, which seeks to reduce costs associated with lunar exploration.
