Contracted by the AFRL, Firefly will use its expertise to design, build and test a composite-based nozzle extension to reduce costs, improve performance and accelerate rocket engine production.

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.

Mission will use Firefly’s Elytra spacecraft vehicle, supported by proven avionics, composite structures and propulsion systems, to perform on-demand orbital maneuvers and space domain awareness.

Longest commercial Moon mission using Firefly’s composites-intensive Blue Ghost lander completes more than 346 hours of surface operations, transmitting more than 119 gigabytes of data back to Earth.

Third tactically responsive space mission will build on lessons learned from VICTUS NOX and HAZE launched aboard Firefly’s composite Alpha rocket, building up the company’s rapid response capability.

Following launch vehicle separation, Firefly’s composites-intensive Blue Ghost lunar lander acquired signal and completed on-orbit commissioning.

After a 45-day trip, Firefly Aerospace’s first landing attempt landed Blue Ghost in an upright, stable configuration, followed by the start of surface operations.

Company’s third lunar mission and fourth NASA CLPS task order uses Firefly’s carbon fiber Blue Ghost lunar lander, Elytra Dark orbital vehicle and a rover to operate six NASA instruments.

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

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.
