Firefly Advances toward Lunar Landing with IRR Completion
Firefly Aerospace has completed the Integration Readiness Review (IRR) of its Blue Ghost M1 lander, showcasing progress toward its goal of landing on the Moon in 2024. The review, held at Firefly’s headquarters in Cedar Park, TX, marked key milestones across multiple areas. Firefly’s next step is the Lander Test Readiness Review, which will verify readiness for primary system functional testing. The company thanks NASA, ASI by Rocketlab, and its employees for their contributions to the IRR’s success. The review’s completion comes less than six months after the Critical Design Review (CDR).
