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

Meet Farah Zuberi, our Director of Spacecraft Mission Management! Farah partners with our Blue Ghost payload customers to ensure mission success from start to finish—bringing both precision and fun to the process. When one of our payloads arrived on Halloween, she led the team in dressing up as astronauts before getting down to business. A Dallas, TX native, Farah’s passion for space began with childhood visits to NASA’s Johnson Space Center, inspiring her to pursue Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. Today, she’s thrilled to play a key role in delivering mission success for Firefly and our customers.

Inspired by fellow Davidson College alum and astronaut Tom Marshburn, Lauren Arkell's journey kicked off during an internship at NASA Glenn, where she first discovered Blue Ghost. Hailing from Brentwood, New Hampshire, she's always had her eyes on the stars. Now, with a solid background in physics and mission ops, she's laser-focused on training her fellow #GhostRiders during mission simulations before the lunar road trip begins!

Talk about under pressure, our MLV development tank went through the wringer and passed full flight load testing! Using our newly built structural test stand, the propellant tanks were cryogenically loaded, pressurized to maximum operational levels, and applied with the limit axial load. Congrats to the design, build and test teams on another MLV milestone!

From Austin to the Andes, Ben Kobe has always had a knack for getting machines moving. Ben once fixed a radiator on a road trip in Peru and helped design Blue Ghost’s propulsion system. An Austin native and University of Texas alum, Ben is our Spacecraft Propulsion Lead responsible for fluid system design, analysis, component testing, component integration and all of the testing necessary to ensure a successful mission to the Moon. #GhostRiders

For some, engineering is just a job, but for Alex Kaplan, it’s a mission to inspire the next generation. A Richmond, Virginia native, Deep Run High School graduate, and Virginia Tech Hokie, Alex grew up with a passion for space exploration. Now, his work is headed to the Moon! With a master’s from Stanford University, Alex is proud to see #BlueGhost evolve from concept to reality, soon to operate on the lunar surface. “There’s something extraordinary about placing hardware in the one place visible from anywhere on Earth,” Alex shares. #GhostRiders
