Firefly Aerospace Inc. (”Firefly”) is developing a family of launch and in-space vehicles and services that provide industry-leading affordability, convenience, and reliability. Firefly’s launch vehicles utilize common technologies, manufacturing infrastructure, and launch capabilities, providing LEO launch solutions for up to ten metric tons of payload at the lowest cost per kg in the small-launch class. Combined with Firefly’s in-space vehicles, such as the Space Utility Vehicle and Blue Ghost lunar lander, Firefly will provide the space industry with a single source for missions from LEO to the surface of the Moon or beyond.

Our #VICTUSNOX mission fundamentally changed how the space industry accesses space. Instead of spending weeks or months prepping a payload and rocket for launch, we condensed the timeline into 24 hours. Responsive space has been a concept for years, and our team showed the world that it's now possible. United States Space Force  Millennium Space Systems, A Boeing Company

Proud to support the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) LunA-10 initiative! Firefly was selected to develop a framework for spacecraft that can dock together on-orbit to provide on-demand refueling, delivery, transport, de-orbiting services, and more. Based on the capabilities of our Elytra orbital vehicles, these spacecraft hubs could help improve on-orbit mission response times from years to days. 

The Firefly crew completed our first Miranda engine hot fire! Seven of these 230,000 lbf engines will power the first stage of Northrop Grumman's Antares 330 and the Medium Launch Vehicle we're co-developing together. Major props to the team for hitting this critical milestone in record time - just over a year after the contract was signed. More to come as we work towards a full-duration hot fire. https://lnkd.in/g8SzR6ct


#FLTA004 update: Our next Alpha flight called Fly the Lightning will launch a dedicated payload for Lockheed Martin as we continue to support the responsive space needs of our customers. This mission will help get on-orbit capabilities in the hands of U.S. warfighters faster. The Firefly team is concurrently ramping up for Alpha FLTA005 for NASA. Get more details on our upcoming missions here: https://lnkd.in/gcsZHaCx

Congrats to our Elytra team on another milestone! We recently completed structural environmental testing on the qualification model. This test validates the spacecraft, with Xtenti's FANTM-RiDE mass simulator attached, can handle the loads experienced during launch. Stay tuned for more insights as we prepare for our first on-orbit Elytra mission: https://lnkd.in/gxPE5hwR Experior Laboratories

Just two months after our VICTUS NOX launch, the Firefly crew has completed stage integration and rolled Alpha out to the pad. Stay tuned for more info about Flight 4!
