The Blue Ghost, a spacecraft designed to descend from lunar orbit and safely land on the surface of the moon, is a lunar first developed by Firefly Aerospace. The Blue Ghost mission, launched in January of this year, represents the first successful soft landing on the moon by an independent company, a commercial enterprise.
The unmanned Blue Ghost project conducted many experiments including regolith collection, which refers to the process of gathering the loose, unconsolidated rocky material that forms the surface layer of celestial bodies like the moon. This rocky material is composed of ice, dust, broken rocks and other debris created by meteorite impacts over millions of years. Scientists plan to mine water from the regolith for the moon colony to extract oxygen for the lunar colonists to breathe and to propel their lunar lander back to earth.
The Blue Ghost project utilizes regolith collection by sorting lunar regolith using pressurized nitrogen gas, which offers a low-cost, low-mass solution for future robotic collections. This succeeded under 
operation and helped to provide viability for future lunar endeavors. This innovation can change the entire direction of space exploration. giving private commercial companies the chance to explore and exploit the moon’s surface and create brand new innovations for years to come.
