Space company Firefly Aerospace (FLY) is set to report its second-quarter results on Aug. 11, after the market closes. Prior to that, the company is facing tailwinds from a couple of NASA contracts.
The company, which has completed eight space missions until now, landed a $144 million NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contract for its Blue Ghost lunar lander. This builds on the Blue Ghost Mission 1 (a successful venture of NASA and Firefly) that traveled to the Moon’s near side. The upcoming mission, expected to be launched in 2028, will once again travel to the Moon’s near side carrying NASA science instruments.
