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…

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-…

Firefly has landed at Space Symposium! Stop by the Lakeside Terrace to meet the team and don’t forget to snap a selfie with our Blue Ghost Mission 2 lander!

Welcome home, Artemis II! Blue Ghost reported spotting a few friendly faces in the lunar sky. We hope you enjoyed the journey and look forward to hearing about the discoveries you've brought back from the Moon.

Big things happening at the Rocket Ranch! Standing 95 ft tall, our first stage tanks for our Eclipse rocket are on the stand for structural testing. This risk reduction test will push the tanks beyond their limits to verify our flight margins. More to come soon!

Real-time intelligence from the Moon! Our Ocula lunar imaging service will leverage @nvidia's Jetson module and Firefly's AI software to enable on-orbit processing in lunar orbit and transmit more timely, actionable insights to customers. The high-res telescopes that power Ocula were delivered to our spacecraft facility and fit checked on our Elytra orbital spacecraft. Learn more here: fireflyspace.com/news/firefly-a…

We're looking forward to what the Artemis II crew spies during their lunar flyby today. This team of Fireflies is watching closely, hoping to catch a glimpse of our landing spot!

As part of our commitment to advancing responsive space missions across the globe, Firefly is working with @Seagate_Space to explore sea-based launch capabilities for Alpha that open access to new orbits and inclinations. Read more here: seagatespace.com/apr-6-2026-fir…

Be sure to say hi to Blue Ghost as you pass by @astro_reid !

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina If you squint, you can see our Fireflies waving back from afar. Safe travels Artemis II crew!🌎👋

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

Separation test complete for Blue Ghost Mission 2! This test demonstrated the mechanisms on Elytra that release our Dual Payload Attach Fitting and enable the deployment of @esa’s Lunar Pathfinder satellite into lunar orbit following separation of Blue Ghost.
