Our Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE) completed its mission sunday night when the Blueghost 1 Lander ended operations at lunar nightfall. The receiver has performed exceptionally throughout the mission since January 15th, breaking world records for deep space navigation at 401,000 km and achieving the first-ever PVT (Position, Velocity, Time) fix on the lunar surface.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Qascom, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Politecnico di Torino for their hard work and outstanding collaboration over the past three years. Together, we have pioneered satellite navigation on the Moon, laying the foundation for future lunar navigation systems.
A special thank you to the LuGRE receiver — you operated like a true warrior, persevering until the last minutes of moon surface operations.
With this mission, Qascom has made a lasting mark on the Moon — a milestone that will endure forever.
We leave a message for future generations: Think High, Think Big. There are no limits to what determination and motivation together can achieve!!
