BLUE GHOST LUNAR LANDER SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH ON JANUARY 15TH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The last lander to successfully reach the surface of the Moon's cratered Mare Crisium region was the Soviet Luna 24 probe in August 1976. SpaceX is preparing to launch two landers there on January 15. Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost 1 lander will carry 10 NASA payloads to the surface. It will collect data using tools designed to measure various particulate compositions, thermal properties, and the electromagnetic activity of both the Moon and the Earth. The other lander, Resilience, is from Japanese spacecraft firm iSpace.
