Firefly Aerospace Secures $224M in NASA Contracts for Lunar Missions

Firefly Aerospace, an Austin-based space transportation company, has been awarded a $112 million contract by NASA to deliver goods to the far side of the moon as part of the space agency's return to the surface. The mission will debut the company's Blue Ghost spacecraft, which will land on the furthest lunar landing site on the "dark side of the moon" and deliver the European Space Agency's Lunar Pathfinder satellite and a communication system to the surface. Firefly Aerospace is also constructing a lunar lander that will be used by NASA for manned launches in the coming decades.
