Part 3/9:
The Blue Ghost mission stands apart as it represents the first private undertaking aimed at landing on and conducting scientific experiments directly on the lunar surface. This initiative is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, which invites private enterprises to collaborate in lunar exploration, harnessing their innovative capabilities.
The mission’s primary objective is to assess critical resources that could sustain human presence on the Moon. Water, for example, could provide the necessary support for life and serve as a resource for future fuel production, laying the foundation for extended space missions.
