Blue Ghost Mission 2 is a robotic spaceflight mission planned by Firefly Aerospace for launch in late 2026. The mission includes three spacecraft that will be launched together on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 launch vehicle. The Elytra orbital transfer vehicle will insert the Blue Ghost lander and the Lunar Pathfinder satellite into lunar orbit. The lander will then carry science experiments and technology demonstration payloads to the lunar surface, where it will deploy a seismometer and a rover.
