Firefly Aerospace, a provider of economical launch vehicles, spacecraft, and in-space services and a portfolio company of AE Industrial Partners, has acquired Spaceflight Inc.

Spaceflight’s orbital vehicles offer payload deliveries, hosting and transfer services. With experience in mission management and selling and filling manifests, the company has supported the deployment of more than 460 payloads into space. The acquisition supports Firefly’s portfolio of space transportation services, including responsive launch and in-space mobility, on-orbit hosting and servicing and lunar delivery operations.

“The combination of Spaceflight’s on-orbit experience with Firefly’s launch vehicles, Blue Ghost landers, and Space Utility Vehicles is an overnight game changer for our customers and investors,” states Bill Weber, CEO of Firefly Aerospace.
