The company’s fourth lunar mission and fifth NASA CLPS award will use the Elytra orbital vehicle and Blue Ghost lunar lander to operate two rovers and three scientific instruments on the Moon’s south pole.

Only sixth TSA signed by the U.S. provides the legal and technical framework for U.S. commercial launches from Swedish spaceports.

A $50 million investment further supports Eclipse, a platform built upon the success of Firefly’s carbon fiber Alpha and Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket with a leap in power, performance and payload capacity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
