Firefly named to $981M Space Force NITE-STAR contract pool

The U.S. Space Force named Firefly Aerospace one of 15 companies eligible for task orders under NITE-STAR, a new indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle worth up to $981 million across two five-year periods through July 2032. The program funds modernized space test and training infrastructure, including adversary-mimicking satellites and ground systems that reproduce cyberattacks and electronic warfare, adding to Firefly's growing national-security business alongside its Alpha launch, Blue Ghost lunar, and Elytra orbital-transfer lines.
