Blue Ghost is full of firsts. The Firefly Aerospace lander became the first commercial moon landing. It also showed that our Earth based GPS signals can be used for navigation on the Moon.
The LuGRE payload’s success in lunar orbit and on the surface indicates that signals from the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) can be received and tracked at the Moon. These results mean NASA’s Artemis missions, or other exploration missions, could benefit from these signals to accurately and autonomously determine their position, velocity, and time. This represents a steppingstone to advanced navigation systems and services for the Moon and Mars.
