Key parts of the actual lander are being put together at the company’s spacecraft assembly center, near New Hope Road and Hwy 183-A.
"Couldn't be any cooler. If you'd have been here two days ago, the noise in this place was deafening when we announced it," said Firefly CEO Bill Weber. The two stage configuration includes a lander and a transfer vehicle that will orbit the moon. They’ll establish a communications system, linking up with the original Blue Ghost that’s expected to be on the moon by summer 2024. It's all part of NASA’s effort to send humans back to the moon.
The first Blue Ghost will ride on a SpaceX rocket. The propulsion system that will get Blue Ghost to the moon is tested not far from US 183.
