A lunar robot built by the Texas-based company Firefly has successfully landed on Monday, about 2:35 a.m.
The robot, called Blue Ghost, set off to orbit a SpaceX rocket in January and spent some time in Earth orbit, according to the U.S. CNN.
Firefly has become the second private sector company to have achieved a Monday landing. Some have failed in the past.
The company is carrying out this mission as a contractor under NASA CLPS and Artemis programmes aimed at using robotic grounders to observe the moon.
Actually, the robot is inside a crater filled with volcanic material.
Blue Ghost will reveal its X-generation antenna, which can transmit data and video from the moon.
NASA and Firefly will verify that all 10 scientific and technological demonstrations are in place. Over the next two weeks, mission teams will collect information on everything, from the way of the moon's land to the study of the heat course from the inside of the moon.
Blue Ghost will witness an eclipse on March 14th.
Shortly before the lunar night's fall, Blue Ghost will aim to capture photos of a “brightness of the lunar horizon”, a phenomenon during which moon dust will rise.
Blue Ghost will stand on the moon's surface indefinitely. /tch
