one step closer to Alpha #FLTA006! Lockheed Martin’s LM 400 is now integrated on Alphas payload adaptor. Up next, we’ll encapsulate the payload in our fairing, transport it to the pad, and mate to Alpha. Stay tuned as we get ready to launch on Sat, 3/15 @ 8:25am CST! fireflyspace.com/missions/alp...

The Alpha team is still working with the range to determine our next launch window for Message in a Booster. We've been up against unfavorable wind conditions that exceed safety limits for some critical assets within SLDelta30. More to come soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV1j...

Apparently the Firefly 'Message in a Booster' FLTA006 scrub of today was due to a GSE issue, let's see if they get it fixed for an attempt tomorrow.

Just as Firefly was preparing for the return to flight following the FLTA006 failure, the first stage for FLTA007 was lost in an anomaly on the test stand, resulting in a huge fireball. Really unfortunate to see, and hopefully they can recover quickly.
