Q4 2025
Quarter 4
launch status: TBD
🇺🇸 Firefly Alpha – Lockheed Martin Mission 2 – Firefly Aerospace (Commercial) — Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — Technology
Space Launch Complex 2W — Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

Second of up to 25 launches of Low Earth Orbit technology demonstration satellites to be built and operated by Lockheed Martin. Details of the satellite TBD.

Q2 2026
Quarter 2
launch status: TBD
🇺🇸 Firefly Alpha – Jackal AOV – Firefly Aerospace (Commercial) — Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — Government/Top Secret
Space Launch Complex 2W — Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

True Anomaly’s Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle (AOV) will support U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command’s VICTUS HAZE Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission with operations in orbit proximity with another spacecraft built by Rocket Lab National Security.

The spacecraft, once completed, will remain on call until the U.S. Space Force provides the notice to launch. The Firefly team will then have 24 hours to transport the payload fairing to the pad, mate the fairing to the Alpha rocket, fuel the rocket, and launch within the first available window.
