Other tools that fly on Blue Ghost as part of the NASA lunar load -load services initiative but they were very small on the model, or are covered so that they are not visible, and include airflow training to measure the heat flow from the interior of the moon (Lister); A protester of a sample of the moon (Lunar Planetvac); The Stereo camera is to capture the effect of the rocket column on the lunar Reggulith while the landing descends.
Lander components also include X-Band (installed next to Lugre and NGLR); Three solar panels, which provide energy for NASA tools; Eight defender of the RCS control system; Four shock legs and the main engine in its base.
