Interesting lessons learned by Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander.

1) Temperature swings on the moon "were really, really crazy."
2) Geographic features of the moon also affect temperature variations.
3) Special and unique battery designs will be needed to survive at night on the moon.

Firefly is now qualifying and assembling flight hardware for Blue Ghost Mission-2, and is expecting to execute annual missions to the moon. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/private-spaceflight/we-learned-so-much-that-we-didnt-know-firefly-aerospaces-blue-ghost-moon-lander-mission-was-full-of-surprises #space #moon #moonlanding #FireflyAerospace #nasa #blueghost
