Firefly's Blue Ghost Mission 2, "Riders 2 The Dark," utilizes a dual spacecraft configuration with the lunar lander stacked on the Elytra Dark orbital vehicle. Elytra will deploy Blue Ghost and the European Space Agency's Lunar Pathfinder satellite in lunar orbit.

Blue Ghost will then touch down on the far side of the moon and support payload operations for at least 10 days on the surface while Elytra provides a communications relay and radio frequency calibration services from lunar orbit.

All times are CT (US)
