Coeur d'Alene native works on recently launched lunar lander
Coeur d'Alene native Chris Major is over the moon after a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1 lander launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida earlier this week. He served as a principal investigator on the project.
According to a NASA release, "the lander will carry 10 NASA science investigations to further our understanding of the Moon's environment and help prepare for future human missions to the lunar surface, as part of the agency's Moon to Mars exploration approach."
