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.

That’s a wrap on showcasing our BGM1 integrated payloads! Developed by The University of Maryland, Next Generation Lunar Retroreflector (NGLR) will determine the distance between Earth and the Moon by reflecting very short laser pulses from Earth and measuring the laser transit time to the Moon and back. Stay tuned in the upcoming months as we get closer to launching Blue Ghost Mission 1! #BlueGhost #FireflyAerospace

As we celebrate National Moon Day, Firefly pays tribute to the Apollo 11 astronauts who stepped foot on the Moon 55 years ago today. The mission of Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins forever changed the landscape of space exploration and the human spirit. Firefly is proud to continue in their footsteps, starting with Blue Ghost Mission 1 launching later this year. #BlueGhost #ToTheMoon

Let’s show off the next BGM1 integrated payload - Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) payload from the Southwest Research Institute! LMS will provide groundbreaking insights into the Moon’s mantle by measuring electric and magnetic fields. This critical data will help us understand the Moon’s temperature structure, thermal evolution, and how it has cooled and differentiated since its formation.

Miranda is making moves! Just 24 hours after completing a 60 second hot fire on our full length engine, the team nailed mission duty cycle at 206 seconds, matching the longest engine burn during flight. With this milestone behind us, we`re setting the pace in bringing the new medium class of launch vehicles to market. @northropgrumman

We have a few more integrated #BlueGhost payloads to show before we ship for environmental testing! Next up is the Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) developed by Honeybee Robotics. LPV will deploy to the Moon’s surface and demonstrate pneumatic sample collection of lunar regolith by collecting and sorting regolith within its sample collection chamber.
