This is just one of three private missions set to touch down on the lunar surface in the next two weeks.

This may have the best branding / naming — of all of them though. Grin. Here’s a bit, from NASA’s coverage blogs:

…Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 is nearly on top of its Moon landing on Sunday, March 2, after launching on Jan.15. In preparation for landing, Blue Ghost completed its final lunar orbit maneuver on Monday, Feb. 24. This maneuver inserted Blue Ghost into a near-circular low lunar orbit, bringing the lander ever closer to the lunar surface.

Now, about one hour before touchdown in the early Sunday morning hours East Coast time, Blue Ghost will complete its Descent Orbit Insertion burn, which will initiate the lander’s descent trajectory toward its landing site on the near side of the Moon….

With a suite of NASA science and technology on board, Firefly Aerospace is targeting no earlier than 3:34 a.m. EST Sunday, March 2, to set their Blue Ghost lunar lander on the Moon. Blue Ghost is slated to touch down near Mare Crisium, in the northeast quadrant on the near side of the Moon, as part of NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign to establish a long-term lunar presence. Live coverage of the landing, jointly hosted by NASA and Firefly, will air on NASA+ starting at 2:20 a.m. EST, approximately 75 minutes before touch down on the Moon’s surface….

Do stop back in, if you can’t fall asleep as your clocks “Spring Forward” (or are sitting in a bar, at closing time) — as we will have the live video updated, right here. Onward.
