Firefly Gamma
- Future Vision Reusable Vehicle
- Gamma represents the world’s most versatile launch vehicle
-
Rocket plane
- Infuses modern aerospace technologies in a reusable vehicle
- Utilizes Alpha and Beta–derived technologies to reduce cost, schedule and risk
- Optional air launch or ground launch configuration
- Brings order of magnitude launch cost reductions to industry
