OTD last year, our team of Fireflies showed the world Alpha’s responsive space capabilities during the United States Space Force's VICTUS NOX mission! We proved we can complete final launch preparations, encapsulate a payload, mate it to the rocket, and launch — all following a 24-hour notice. Since then, our responsive space operations have become standard for every Alpha launch.
