Firefly Already Landed on the Moon. Now NASA Is Paying for Repeat Access.
Summary & Description:
Firefly Aerospace is no longer just a risky small-launch story. Blue Ghost already landed on the Moon, operated for more than 14 days, returned 119 GB of data, and now NASA has awarded Firefly another accelerated CLPS lunar mission. The deeper story is launch, landers, Elytra orbital vehicles, Ocula lunar imaging, Space-ng autonomous navigation, SciTec defense software, Esrange Europe launch expansion, Eclipse medium lift, and whether Firefly can turn Moon access into repeatable infrastructure.
