Firefly is a private spaceflight company. The Blue Ghost lander has been contracted by NASA under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program to build and fly a lander to the surface of the moon. It should launch in 2024.
For a successful mission the Blue Ghost lander needs to soft-land on the moon, and the payloads on the lander need to be operational.
Blue Ghost M1 will be followed by Blue Ghost M2.

3.00@sesquipedalianThaumaturge you can see this market for the IM1 lander, that was resolved by person that made this market, and how it went, but in general as stated in this market, I think it shouldn't affect the resolution, as this is about the landing.
@ScipioFabius The resolution criterion for that market was that the lander "needs to soft-land on the moon such that the landing does not interfere with the function of the payloads", but for this one it's that the lander "needs to soft-land on the moon, and the payloads on the lander need to be operational." This seems importantly different, which is why I'm not sure if it's meant to be the same.
@mods this market needs attention, creator inactive. The mission has launched and is active, this market should be reopened.
@LarsOsborne I believe this is not the case, since the launch date has been pushed to January. @Sailfish could you clarify please?
