The spacecraft carried out the longest commercial operation on the moon to date—and also made history during its rare chance to document this celestial event

While making the deliveries, the Blue Ghost lander experienced one lunar day. During the course of that day, it captured several images and videos. It imaged a total solar eclipse from the surface of the moon and also took pictures of the sunset. In a post on social media, Firefly Aerospace referred to the sunset picture as the lander's farewell.

Blue Ghost completed 14 days of surface operations, deploying its various payloads and transmitting more than 119 gigabytes of data back to Earth. This was the longest commercial mission on the Moon to date, and the first of a series of landers designed to touch down on the lunar surface on a yearly basis.
