Reliable rocket engine ignition involves precise orchestration of mechanical and fluid systems. Firefly engines go from idle to producing hundreds of thousands of horsepower in a fraction of a second. If anything is out of sequence, the results can be catastrophic. Firefly’s Lightning engine carries small canisters (one for each start) of igniter fluid called TEA-TEB which are used to ignite the liquid oxygen and RP-1 propellants in the thrust chamber. As fuel pressure rises at startup, the fuel

Firefly conducted the first flight test of our Alpha vehicle on September 2, 2021. Although the vehicle did not make it to orbit, the day marked a major advancement for the Firefly team, as we demonstrated that we “arrived” as a company capable of building and launching rockets. We also acquired a wealth of flight data that will greatly enhance the likelihood of Alpha achieving orbit during its second flight. In short, we had a very successful first flight. Here are a few specific notes about th
