Life at Firefly
At Firefly, we’re focused on making space attainable for everyone – including you! Each team member’s passion, dedication, and innovative ideas have a direct impact on fueling our successful trajectory into space. And there’s no shortage of meaningful projects to work on at Firefly. As an end-to-end space transportation company, Firefly has a diverse line of business with opportunities to get hands-on experience building launch vehicles, in-space vehicles, and lunar landers.
Our Team
Headquartered in the Lone Star State, Firefly’s hardworking team reflects Texas’ GO BIG culture in everything we do. We build big, achieve big, and dream big. We’re building launch vehicles and spacecraft to provide more reliable and affordable space access. We’ve achieved some incredible wins with NASA, the U.S. Space Force, and key commercial customers, opening the door to some of the most exciting launches in the industry. And we’re dreaming bigger than this planet – Firefly has two upcoming missions to the Moon with even bigger ambitions to Mars, Venus, and beyond.
Our Purpose
Firefly’s purpose is to innovate with relentless courage to unlock space for humanity – in a way only Fireflies can.
“You miss all the shots you don’t take. If this is something that interests you, then apply. Being a dedicated, driven team player can carry you far. You can learn about rockets, it’s much harder to learn dedication and passion.”
– Meagan Roth, Sr. Director of Systems Engineering and Launch

Sunsets hit differently on the Moon! More images below of the horizon glow that comes to life just above the Moon’s surface as the sun goes down. This milestone embodies all the achievements from this historic Firefly mission. Thank you #BlueGhost for the final goodbye. Until next time! #BGM1

Witness the sunset from the Moon - our final gift from #BlueGhost Mission 1! We’re honored to share these breathtaking views of the lunar horizon glow with the world as our mission concludes. The @NASA team is excited to analyze these images further and share more of the findings. #BGM1

That`s a wrap for #BGM1! After downlinking more than 119 GB of data, including 51 GB of science and technology data for @nasa, we`re beyond proud to say Firefly met all our mission objectives. Read more on the historic accomplishments achieved after #BlueGhost stuck the landing and completed more than 14 days of surface operations on the Moon.

Our Alpha #FLTA006 launch this weekend is being delayed due to a Range constraint at Vandenberg. The rocket and payload remain healthy and ready for launch. We`re now working with the Range team to determine the next window. Stay tuned for more updates.

#BlueGhost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth`s atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1
