The mission, in partnership with Nasa, landed at 8.34am UK time on a dark basaltic plain called the Mare Crisium, or the Sea of Crises, near a solitary lunar mountain called Mons Latreille. Cheers erupted from Firefly workers and spectators at a viewing party at the company’s headquarters after the flight controller announced: “We’re on the Moon!”

Targeting a touchdown near Mons Latreille in Mare Crisium, the mission is expected to land no earlier than 3:34 AM US Eastern Time (0834 GMT) on Sunday. The lander, nicknamed "Ghost Riders in the Sky," has been maneuvering into its final descent orbit, with flight controllers executing critical positioning maneuvers in preparation for landing.
