Firefly Aerospace's first mission to the moon is nearly ready to fly.

The company's Blue Ghost lunar lander arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on Monday (Dec. 16) for integration with the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that will launch the robotic probe — as well as the private Japanese moon lander Resilience — to space.
