Firefly Alpha FLTA004 "Fly the Lightning"

Firefly aims to launch the Lockheed Martin payload "Electronically Steerable Antenna" (ESA), integrated into the Terran Orbital Nebula satellite bus. The mission team will further demonstrate responsive space capabilities as a secondary objective by tracking and improving the total working hours required from payload receival to launch readiness compared to Alpha FLTA003, the record-breaking VICTUS NOX mission.

The Alpha FLTA004 Fly the Lightning mission is prepared to launch no earlier than December 22. The adjusted T-0 is 9:32:30 am PST with a 16 minute launch window.

NSF will provide Livestream Production Services for this launch.
