Firefly Space Systems careers

Firefly’s vision is to extend humanity’s reach into the universe by assembling a team of like-minded individuals to build the next generation of spacecraft. Firefly is first and foremost a business - our spacecraft are designed to satisfy a market need & provide a high return to shareholders.

The strongest current need is for a dedicated small satellite launcher in the half-metric-ton payload class. Firefly is focused on developing & deploying this launcher, to provide low-cost, high-performance space launch capability. In the under-served small sat market, secondary-payload launches are often the only option.

Our first product, Firefly Alpha will change this. Capable of lifting 400kg to a 400km equatorial orbit, Alpha is designed for mass production & to fly 50x a year.

The technologies employed in our state-of-the-art rockets provide a clear pathway for future incremental improvements in capability. Later vehicles will have reusable elements and employ air-breathing propulsion.
