A launcher company is only as good as its welders, and Firefly's welding team is the best in the business. The Alpha launch mount with release mechanisms is shown here. It'll soon be heading to Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Launch Complex 2 for installation!

Firefly's Mobile Launch Stand (MLS) has shipped to our Vandenberg launch site. The 4 vertical components of the MLS are the hold-down and release mechanisms for the Alpha rocket. Great work by our design, analysis and fabrication teams! #Firefly #MakingSpaceForEveryone

The Strongback is on the way to Firefly’s launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base. This is the final large structure needed to complete our Transporter-Erector-Launcher! #Firefly #MakingSpaceForEveryone

Today we performed a test of the Alpha flight first stage. The four Reaver engines performed 35 seconds of thrust vector control maneuvers, challenging the flame deflectors to constrain all that Reaver power! Today's test was a major step in Firefly's march to first flight.

Today, on the 60th anniversary of man first reaching space, we fully installed Alpha and rotated vertical on Firefly’s Vandenberg launch pad. We will soon perform a static fire test prior to our inaugural launch! #Firefly #MakingSpaceForEveryone #FullAttack!

Clair, one of Firefly’s engineering managers, put together a cool time-lapse of a recent Alpha lift. Thanks Clair! #Firefly #MakingSpaceForEveryone
