Firefly Aerospace won a new Department of War contract to complete a preliminary design review for an Elytra-based satellite deorbit mission.
Completion of the review makes Firefly eligible to compete for a follow-on phase covering mission execution, including launch and spacecraft operations.
Mission concept calls for Elytra to launch to LEO, rendezvous with a client object, conduct proximity operations, then execute the deorbit service.
Deorbit capability is positioned for LEO, MEO, or GEO missions, targeting end-of-life satellites to support debris-mitigation priorities.
