Firefly Aerospace has set a January launch date for its first lunar lander mission, Blue Ghost 1, which will carry 10 NASA payloads. The spacecraft, launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9, will take about 60 days to complete its mission, including a 45-day transit to the moon, landing near Mons Latreille. This announcement follows delays in the schedules of other commercial lunar lander missions, with none now launching in the fourth quarter of this year.
Lockheed Martin's new mid-size satellite platform, the LM 400, is set for its orbital debut next year aboard a Firefly Aerospace rocket, following a three-year development period impacted by supply chain issues. Designed for missions requiring more power than small satellites, the LM 400 has attracted multiple customers and will be manufactured in Denver, Colorado. Despite setbacks, including a change in launch providers, the platform aims to serve both commercial and government markets, with potential synergies following Lockheed's acquisition of Terran Orbital.
Firefly Aerospace has secured $175 million in an oversubscribed Series D funding round led by RPM Ventures, boosting its valuation to over $2 billion. The investment will enhance production of the Alpha launch vehicle and expand the Elytra spacecraft's market reach, emphasizing responsive space capabilities. Despite securing multiple launch contracts, the company has conducted only one Alpha launch this year, with plans for more in 2024.
