Firefly to conduct trade study for up to two demonstration missions, proving capabilities to rapidly launch its carbon fiber Elytra vehicles and support on-orbit missions beyond GEO.

The end-to-end space transportation company looks to its future launch, lunar and on-orbit services and capabilities.

Company grows test stands, further implements AFP and seven-axis robotic powermill machinery to produce rockets up to nine times faster at 1/7th of the cost.

First of two lunar missions under NASA’s CLPS initiative will launch in 2024 and conduct diverse technology demonstrations and scientific investigations on the moon’s surface.

The leading provider of composites-intensive launch and in-space vehicles will expand AEI’s space transportation portfolio and grow Firefly’s future opportunities in the space market.

The Antares 330 rocket, leveraging Firefly’s composites technologies and Northrop’s avionics and software, will be developed alongside a medium launch vehicle to serve various space launch markets.

Two agency payloads are targeted to launch in 2026 to a landing site on the far side of the moon to gain a better understanding of the early evolution of the universe.

Since 2019 the space sector has been on a rapid upward trajectory. This year’s Space Symposium delivered that same optimism, celebrating the community’s continued proliferation, even as political and financial uncertainty raise new questions.

The agreement promotes a long-term strategic collaboration between Firefly Aerospace and Spaceflight Inc. to address increasing demand in the commercial small-satellite market.
