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.

Commemorating the theme “Performance With Purpose,” CW has gathered key stories over the last year that exemplify how composites have progressed space exploration and satellite programs.

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.

Hemp nylon-reinforced PA6 automotive exteriors, TPC acoustic elements, glass fiber stator cooling design and other innovations are recognized for their sustainability focus, holistic capabilities and lightweight designs.

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