This milestone marks another step in an aggressive schedule and showcases the company’s ability to consistently deliver incredible work. The Firefly team is humbled by the confidence external reviewers have shown in their lander and mission plan, and they are honored to be demonstrating their ability to deliver services for NASA and commercial customers.
