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.

A space robot said "goodnight" to the moon as it completed its mission, capturing the first high-definition images of a lunar sunset before it fell silent.

After the sunset, it continued to capture images and gather scientific data for five hours into the lunar night before running out of solar energy and falling silent. Nasa’s Joel Kearns said that Blue Ghost’s sunset series represents the first high-resolution images of a sunset from the moon.
