The lunar lander Blue Ghost recently finished a successful ground rehearsal for its rocket launch. The tests took place at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Environmental Test Lab in California, the same facility that prepared Voyager probes for their historic journey beyond the Solar System.

In preparation for the launch, the mock-up of the lander was subjected to extreme conditions by being secured on a vibrating platform and placed inside an acoustic chamber to simulate the rigors of the upcoming rocket launch.
