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. With launch, lunar, and orbital vehicles, Firefly has a diverse line of business with opportunities to get hands-on experience launching rockets, operating in space, and landing on the Moon.

Oh wait, that’s literally a rocket! 🚀

Two years ago, as students sang the national anthem, our Alpha rocket lit up the sky in the distance, creating an unforgettable moment. 

This weekend as we celebrate Independence Day, we’re reminded of 250 years of American innovation, ambition, and unity. Happy 4th of July from all of us at Firefly!

Take a manufacturing minute with Firefly Soft Goods Technician, Chloe Mooney, to learn how we make multi-layer insulation, MLI for short. 

Think high-tech space blankets made of thin reflective layers that protect our spacecraft against extreme temperatures. 

Watch to see how it's done!

Blue Ghost on repeat!

Firefly was awarded a $144 million @nasa CLPS contract to return to the Moon's near side and deliver three science instruments with our proven Blue Ghost lander.

This marks our sixth contracted lunar mission, demonstrating rapid, repeatable access to the lunar surface.

Our Alpha rocket is going global!
 
Yesterday Firefly and @ssc_space celebrated several milestones for Launch Complex 3C at the Esrange Space Centre in Sweden.
 
With key infrastructure and regulatory agreements in place, we’re undergoing final pad construction and taking the next step towards a critical orbital launch capability from mainland Europe.

Firefly is humbled to receive the Robert J. Collier Trophy—one of aerospace's highest honors. This trophy, awarded by @nationalaeronautic only when achievements represent a defining leap forward in aviation and spaceflight, places Firefly among the ranks of Orville Wright, Chuck Yeager, and the Apollo 11 astronauts.
 
As said by @nasaadmin, Jared Isaacman, "Firefly proved that a U.S. company can successfully design, build, launch, land, and operate a spacecraft on another world while delivering meaningful scientific value for @NASA and the American taxpayer."
 
Reflecting on what this means for the future, @jejasonkim added: "Somewhere tonight, a child will look up at the Moon differently because of what this team achieved." That may be the greatest legacy of all.
