Firefly Aerospace Secures $100 Million NASA Contract
In August 2026, Firefly Aerospace Inc. (FLY) was awarded a $100 million spacecraft processing contract by NASA under the Spacecraft Processing Operations program. The multiple-award contract allows Firefly to compete for task orders related to payload processing at Vandenberg Space Force Base and includes other companies such as Blue Origin and L3Harris Technologies. Two days after securing the NASA deal, Firefly announced a partnership with Zeno Power on its upcoming Blue Ghost lunar mission. The collaboration aims to demonstrate radioisotope technologies capable of surviving harsh lunar conditions. Additionally, in early September 2026, Firefly signed an agreement for two Alpha rocket launches from Sweden's Esrange Space Center through SSC Space. These developments highlight Firefly’s growing role in space infrastructure and exploration efforts.
