Briefing
Firefly was awarded a $10 million addendum to buy additional science, high‑resolution imagery and performance telemetry gathered during Blue Ghost Mission 1’s 60‑day lunar transit and surface operations — data that augments the mission’s original deliverables.
The addendum comes as NASA continues to rely on commercial suppliers under its CLPS program (which has flown four missions and received $386M in agency funding), and builds on Firefly’s earlier CLPS awards and market milestones such as its $176.7M south‑pole lander contract and recent Nasdaq debut: see the CLPS program’s six‑mission context (https://hype.aero/?story=c5cceabd-4270-4c1f-9d85-4f8649df3c5e) and NASA’s $176.7M south‑pole award to Firefly (https://hype.aero/?story=11717bbd-6173-42e8-8449-6409459b1ba3).
