Scheduled to launch no earlier than 2028, the mission will demonstrate Zeno’s technologies designed to enable spacecraft, lunar infrastructure, and future Moon Base systems to operate through the extreme cold and prolonged darkness of the 14-day lunar night. \"Firefly is proud to collaborate with innovative companies like Zeno to solve one of the most complex challenges of lunar exploration - surviving the lunar night,\" said Ray Allensworth, Vice President of Spacecraft at Firefly Aerospace. \"Our first Blue Ghost mission gave us firsthand insight into the Moon's extreme thermal environment, where we measured temperatures ranging from more than 230°F during the lunar day to below -275°F at night. Now we’re looking forward to advancing technologies that can extend missions beyond sunset and support long-duration surface operations required for NASA’s Moon Base initiative and the growing lunar economy.\" Zeno’s Survive-the-Night Package...",
