Meet Farah Zuberi, our Director of Spacecraft Mission Management! Farah partners with our Blue Ghost payload customers to ensure mission success from start to finish—bringing both precision and fun to the process. When one of our payloads arrived on Halloween, she led the team in dressing up as astronauts before getting down to business. A Dallas, TX native, Farah’s passion for space began with childhood visits to NASA’s Johnson Space Center, inspiring her to pursue Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Today, she’s thrilled to play a key role in delivering mission success for Firefly and our customers.

One of the core missions of Blue Ghost is to ignite the imagination of the next generation, inspiring them to dream big! Join us as we road trip to the Moon, paving the way for tomorrow's #GhostRiders.

Felix embodies the future of aerospace, proving that curiosity and hands-on experience are key to unlocking the stars. As Shea Ferring says, starting early and getting real-world exposure sets the next generation apart. Whether you're joining a robotics team, interning at a new space company, or building your own engineering projects—keep pushing boundaries, keep learning, and never stop dreaming big. https://lnkd.in/g9VFjeDh

Our rockets and spacecraft are designed for rapid, end-to-end missions, making us an ideal launch and on-orbit provider for HALO, the United States Department of Defense's Space Development Agency’s Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated LEO program. We're proud to support the agency's growing military satellite constellation as a new vendor on the program. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gDiWK-9P

Inspired by fellow Davidson College alum and astronaut Tom Marshburn, Lauren Arkell's journey kicked off during an internship at NASA Glenn, where she first discovered Blue Ghost. Hailing from Brentwood, New Hampshire, she's always had her eyes on the stars. Now, with a solid background in physics and mission ops, she's laser-focused on training her fellow #GhostRiders during mission simulations before the lunar road trip begins!

Talk about under pressure, our MLV development tank went through the wringer and passed full flight load testing! Using our newly built structural test stand, the propellant tanks were cryogenically loaded, pressurized to maximum operational levels, and applied with the limit axial load. Congrats to the design, build and test teams on another MLV milestone!

Ready to set another industry record! Firefly is proud to partner with True Anomaly to launch United States Space Force's #VICTUSHAZE on #Alpha for another 24-hour Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission. And we won’t stop there. We’ll launch two additional missions for True Anomaly that further advance our national security with rapid launch and on-orbit capabilities. These follow-on missions are a result of our success on #VICTUSNOX. https://lnkd.in/gkMuyd9w

From Austin to the Andes, Ben Kobe has always had a knack for getting machines moving. Ben once fixed a radiator on a road trip in Peru and helped design Blue Ghost’s propulsion system. An Austin native and The University of Texas at Austin alum, Ben is our Spacecraft Propulsion Lead responsible for fluid system design, analysis, component testing, component integration and all of the testing necessary to ensure a successful mission to the Moon. #GhostRiders

3, 2, 1... fire! Another successful Miranda test campaign in the books at 100% power. Major kudos to the test, operations, and production teams. Our Fireflies rapidly innovate and test iteratively as we build our Medium Launch Vehicle.

We are proud to share why Texas is the home of space exploration!
