Firefly Aerospace is a space and defense technology company that enables government and commercial customers to launch, land, and operate in space. The company designs and manufactures small- to medium-lift launch vehicles (Alpha and Eclipse), lunar landers (Blue Ghost), and orbital vehicles (Elytra), all built with common flight-proven technologies. Firefly serves both civil space agencies (NASA) and national security customers (U.S. Air Force, Space Force) and has expanded into autonomous space operations through its acquisition of Space-ng and AI software development. The company also operates SciTec, which provides advanced algorithm development, data fusion, and sensor technology for defense applications. Firefly's engineering, manufacturing, and test facilities are co-located in central Texas, and the company is expanding its launch capabilities internationally, including from Sweden's Esrange Space Center and potential offshore platforms. The company has contracted six lunar missions to date and is pursuing Mars missions, positioning itself across the full spectrum of deep space exploration and national security space operations.
