Firefly Aerospace

Launch. Land. Orbit.

We launch, land, and operate space systems from Earth to the Moon and beyond

Upcoming Missions

Firefly’s upcoming Alpha launches include missions for Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Space Force, NASA, and more. We’re concurrently working several lunar delivery missions with our Blue Ghost landers and in-space missions with our Elytra orbiters.

Launch Vehicles

Alpha & Eclipse

Firefly is ramping up production of our flight-proven Alpha rocket – the only operational U.S. rocket in the 1,000 kg class. In collaboration with Northrop Grumman, Firefly is also building a scaled-up, reusable version of Alpha called Eclipse that can deliver 16,000 kg to orbit.
