Firefly Space Systems is a small- to mid-sized aerospace company based in Cedar Park, Texas, focused on creating dedicated, low-cost launchers for tiny satellites. Its flagship Alpha is a two-stage vehicle capable of delivering roughly 400 to 840 kilograms to low Earth orbit, reflecting an emphasis on simple design and efficient manufacturing to shorten the path to flight. Development and production activities—encompassing design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and ground processing—are centralized in central Texas to streamline operations.

The company targets operators needing reliable access to space for modest payloads, positioning itself within the small-satellite launch segment of the aviation and aerospace manufacturing industry. In May 2026, Firefly announced an expansion of its Cedar Park campus, adding two new buildings and creating a 144,000-square-foot facility to support spacecraft assembly, testing, mission control, avionics, and related operations. The expansion is intended to increase production capacity and shorten turnaround times for future missions.
