Firefly Aerospace

Mission success! Alpha Flight 7 achieved nominal performance and validated key systems ahead of our Block II configuration upgrade. This test flight also delivered a demonstrator payload for @LockheedMartin . Congratulations to the entire Stairway to Seven team! Read more: fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-a…

Our Ghost Riders hit another mile marker and completed the preliminary design review for Blue Ghost Mission 4. As part of @NASA 's CLPS initiative, Firefly’s fourth lunar mission will gather data on the resources, radiation, and thermal environment at the Moon’s south pole.

@planet .@FireflySpace is integrating NVIDIA Jetson on its Elytra spacecraft to process lunar imagery on-orbit, turning raw Moon data into real-time insights for its Ocula imaging service.

We were awarded an @AFResearchLab contract to support development of the Advanced Algorithm R&D and Verification Architecture. Through SciTec we will use deep learning and advanced algorithms, to enhance target detection and tracking capabilities to strengthen global awareness and mission readiness.

Our Blue Ghost team was honored to receive a RNASA Stellar Award for our historic mission on the Moon! A special thank you to the @RNASAFoundation and our customers at @NASA for supporting Firefly and enabling the larger lunar economy through CLPS. Photo credit: NASA/Helen Arase Vargas.

We’re proud to announce the promotion of Ray Allensworth to Vice President of Spacecraft. As Spacecraft Program Director, Ray led Blue Ghost Mission 1—the first successful commercial lunar landing—and helped secure five @NASA task orders and four CLPS missions. Now, she’ll lead the next phase of growth, strengthening our Blue Ghost and Elytra spacecraft production lines as we scale to support our customer's national security and space exploration missions while preparing for NASA’s lunar Moon Base initiatives. Congratulations, Ray—well deserved.

Our Automated Fiber Placement machine is winding the way to efficiency for our rockets and spacecraft! We were able to produce not just one, but three Elytra spacecraft structures at once. These structures were precision cut on our robotic power mill into their final shape. This approach allows us to reduce manufacturing time and improve efficiencies as we scale up our Elytra production line.

Firefly announces Q1 2026 financial results, with record revenue up 40% from the prior quarter. Find the highlights here: investors.fireflyspace.com/news-releases/…

Honored to support the Space-Based Interceptor program for Golden Dome through our SciTec subsidiary. This critical $3.2 billion @USSpaceForce program will build the space-based missile interceptor layer with next-generation tracking and advanced interceptors integrated with artificial intelligence to protect our homeland.

Nine years ago, we set out with a bold vision and a team fueled with enough passion to make it real. Today, that same passion continues to propel us forward. Every milestone we’ve reached is a reflection of the people behind it. Our Fireflies show up every day ready to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible. As we celebrate another year, we’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more excited about where we’re going next.

Congratulations to our one and only Ms.@Rocketheels ! We're ecstatic to promote Trina Patterson to Chief Marketing Officer after more than 3 years as our Vice President of Marketing and Communications. As a 25-year industry veteran, Trina’s experience has been instrumental in amplifying Firefly's most defining moments—from 24-hour rocket campaigns to our historic landing on the Moon and a record-breaking IPO. Trina's passion for her fellow Fireflies, strategic vision, and unwavering dedication have helped tell our story to the world. Thank you for your leadership as we continue to Light the Way to a bold future!

.@FireflySpace is preparing to launch a lunar lander to the far side of the Moon, and there is a significant monetization opportunity there, says CEO @jason_lil_kim. “We’ll be able to sell that data commercially just like we did on Blue Ghost Mission one over five years, and it’s gonna help NASA scientists understand the physical futures of the moon. Commercial companies can buy the data so that they can survey where the best place is to mine for minerals.” Kim also points to rising demand for future moon bases, where the same data becomes critical for deciding where to build and how to operate.

As we prepare for our next road trip to the Moon, we're honored to be included in this year's @TIME list for the 10 Most Influential New Frontiers Companies of 2026 in recognition of our growing capabilities to launch, land, and operate across the space frontier. #TIME100CompaniesIndustryLeader time.com/article/2026/0…

Honored to receive the Space Achievement Award from @SpaceFoundation for our successful Moon landing with Blue Ghost!

Moving on up! With Alpha Flight 8 in the integration and test phase, we're hitting stride on our Automated Fiber Placement machine and building four carbon composite barrels at once for multiple flights. These automated manufacturing processes allow us to enhance quality and reliability across the vehicle as part of our Alpha Block II upgrade.

It was an honor to meet with General Stephen Whiting, Commander of @US_SpaceCom alongside our SciTec subsidiary team at the 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs this week.

@brickmack The colors represent Firefly green and Northrop Grumman blue

@FireflySpace @northropgrumman Ukraine flag stripes? Are there still any Ukrainian systems on this?

Eclipse is getting a fresh look! Firefly and @northropgrumman are redefining what's possible in medium-lift launch, and this game-changing rocket deserves a livery that matches. Learn more about Eclipse here: fireflyspace.com/eclipse/

@SciGuySpace Yes! Eclipse will have a reusable first stage. We're taking an iterative approach and will be testing capabilities on the initial flights.

@FireflySpace @northropgrumman This video does not have grid fins, but the website renders appear to. Just trying to get a sense of whether Eclipse will have a reusable first stage, and if so, when.

Introducing Riders 2 The Dark! Blue Ghost Mission 2 is going where no American mission has landed before - the far side of the Moon. What we discover with @NASA and our commercial customers will light the way to a sustained presence on the Moon and beyond. We’ll see y’all there! fireflyspace.com/missions/blue-…
