As Firefly Aerospace prepares its next Alpha rocket for launch, it is “concurrently ramping up for Alpha FLTA005 for NASA.” The delayed ELaNa 43 mission remains on NASA’s to-do list, so flight 5 may well become MESAT1’s ride to space. Launch dates have yet to be announced for either FLTA004 or FLTA005.
Will Firefly’s 5th Alpha Carry MESAT1?
