This team is unstoppable! We`re honored to share Firefly was awarded another @nasa CLPS task order for a third lunar mission in 2028. This time we`ll utilize our Blue Ghost lander, Elytra Dark orbital vehicle, and a rover to investigate the unexplored Gruithuisen Domes and learn more about the Moon`s composition. With our first lunar road trip set to launch in January, we look forward to flying annual missions that unlock access to the Moon for all.

As a native Texan and The University of Texas at Austin alum, Craig Dorsey builds critical software for our lunar mission. Moving from the Alpha launch team to Blue Ghost, he manages the spacecraft flight software. Every line of code is written from scratch—a testament to a kid from Houston who once looked up at the stars and imagined being part of something extraordinary!

Ever wondered how to turn a napkin sketch into a full lunar program? Just ask Joe Quirk! As Firefly’s "CAD Guy," Joe was one of the first engineers to work on the Blue Ghost mission, helping to design the initial structures for our lunar lander. A native of Bolton, Massachusetts, and a Texas Tech University alum, Joe is especially proud to see the team and lander evolve as we get closer to sending it on it`s final roadtrip.
