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

Fireflies in Action

Way to go #GhostRiders! The team confirmed Blue Ghost’s first trajectory correction maneuver was performed with such accuracy we are skipping the next one. With Earth in the rearview mirror, we’re on cruise control until we reach the Moon’s orbit and perform a Lunar Orbit Insertion in just a couple days. So long, and thanks for all the fish! #BGM1

Sending out an SOS with a Message in a Booster! Firefly’s Alpha hashtag#FLTA006 rocket has shipped off to Space Launch Delta 30 following a successful test campaign at our Texas Rocket Ranch. This next launch will carry Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 tech demo to prove out the risk-reduction and pathfinding efforts the company has done for its mid-sized, multi-mission satellite bus.

Part of our mission is to inspire the next generation. Many of our Fireflies started dreaming of space at a young age filled with a sense of wonder as they looked to the stars and used their creativity in designing vehicles from building blocks. Fast forward to today and this team of dreamers are now operating our Blue Ghost lander on its journey to the Moon. 

From all of us at Firefly, Dream BIG, you never know where you’ll land! #BGM1

T-5 days until Blue Ghost says goodbye to Earth! With the accuracy we achieved on our first 2 burns, we were able to skip the third Earth orbit maneuver. We are in a good position to perform our trans-lunar injection in just under a week. Our #GhostRiders continue to capture some incredible shots of our home planet along the way. #BGM1
