It will land near a volcanic feature called Mons Latreille within Mare Crisium, a more than 300-mile-wide basin located in the northeast quadrant of the lunar near side. The mission will carry NASA investigations and first-of-their-kind technology demonstrations to further our understanding of the Moon\u2019s environment and help prepare for future human missions to the lunar surface, as part of the agency\u2019s Moon to Mars exploration approach. This includes payloads testing lunar subsurface drilling, regolith sample collection, global navigation satellite system abilities, radiation tolerant computing, and lunar dust mitigation. The data captured also benefits humanity by providing insights into how space weather and other cosmic forces impact Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Under the CLPS model, NASA is investing in commercial delivery services to the Moon to enable industry growth and support long-term lunar exploration. As a primary customer for CLPS deliveries, NASA aims to be one of many customers on future flights.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/artemis\/\">Artemis<\/a> campaign, NASA is working with multiple U.S. companies to deliver science and technology to the lunar surface. These companies are eligible to bid on task orders to deliver NASA payloads to the Moon. The task order includes payload integration and operations and launching from Earth and landing on the surface of the Moon. Existing CLPS contracts are indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity contracts with a cumulative maximum contract value of $2.6 billion through 2028.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the agency\u2019s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, see:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/clps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/clps<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">-end-<\/p>\n<p>Alise Fisher<br \/>Headquarters, Washington<br \/>202-358-2546<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-invites-media-to-firefly-blue-ghost-mission-1-launch-to-moon\/mailto:alise.m.fisher@nasa.gov\">alise.m.fisher@nasa.gov<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wynn Scott \/ Natalia Riusech<br \/>Johnson Space Center, Houston<br \/>281-483-5111<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-invites-media-to-firefly-blue-ghost-mission-1-launch-to-moon\/mailto:wynn.b.scott@nasa.gov\">wynn.b.scott@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-invites-media-to-firefly-blue-ghost-mission-1-launch-to-moon\/mailto:nataila.s.riusech@nasa.gov\">nataila.s.riusech@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Antonia Jaramillo<br \/>Kennedy Space Center, Florida<br \/>321-867-2468<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-invites-media-to-firefly-blue-ghost-mission-1-launch-to-moon\/mailto:antonia.jaramillobotero@nasa.gov\">antonia.jaramillobotero@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/nasa-invites-media-to-firefly-blue-ghost-mission-1-launch-to-moon\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media accreditation is open for the next delivery to the Moon through NASA\u2019s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign for the benefit of humanity.
