Green Ghost lander lands on Mun, becoming the first to do so in over a decade

Year 26, Day 379

A private company named FireFlight Aerospace, partnering with the KSA, has put a lander on the Mun for the first time in over a decade.

The Green Ghost lander is a new lander unveiled for landing on the Mun, an ambitious venture by FireFlight Aerospace, a breathtakingly quick aerospace startup company. When the KSA heard their plans to put a working lander back on the Mun for the first time in decades, they agreed it would be a fantastic adventure and great for the Muna program if KSA could figure out how to perfect the landing situation.

And so, the KSA and FireFlight collaborated on the Green Ghost lander, unveiling it at the Diamond Dome last season.

The mission itself went fine; it launched aboard the new GDLV6 rocket, a new and more advanced variant of the standard GDLV5 by SpaceK, including a self-landing booster.

Upon landing, the lander was equipped with several tools at its disposal to use to study the Munar surface, including:

• Thermometer
• Barometer (this one seemed pointless to many, but FireFlight assured it was necessary, apparently)
• Accelerometer
• High and low-gain antennas
• Cameras

These instruments would allow Green Ghost to do its main job of studying the Munar surface in detail that the Mungram missions never allowed.

This mission really was something special; whether Bob Kerman believes that or not. This mission will aid in the continuation and hopefully the succesion of the Muna missions coming up. Especially the landing gear.
