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

Big win for our #GhostRiders! Last night, the team successfully completed Blue Ghost`s first burn with our RCS thrusters and main engine, hitting within 2 mm/s of our target delta V on the first try! This burn increased the lander`s perigee (the closest point to Earth) and gets us ready for our next critical maneuver. Take a look at these engines firing with invisible plumes in the vacuum of space! #BGM1

Join us for an epic #BlueGhostMoonWallk world challenge. We teamed with @playerepicinc to provide a gamified experience to collectively walk the number of miles on Earth we are flying our lunar lander’s trajectory in space. Blue Ghost will travel 2.8 million miles (4.5 million kilometers) before touching down on the moon. Help us cheer on Blue Ghost by walking a little each day. There’s a weekly leader board and exclusive prizes along the way. Download the Player Epic app on your device, set up your digital twin and start Firefly’s Moon Walk Challenge today! #BGM1
