π **Rocket**: Firefly Alpha
π **Details**: Firefly Alpha's Flight 7 will be a test flight and return-To-Flight for the launch vehicle after its April 2025 launch failure. It will test and validate key systems ahead of Fireflyβs Block II configuration upgrade on Flight 8 thatβs designed to enhance reliability and manufacturability across the vehicle.
Flight 7 will be the last flown in Alphaβs current configuration and will test multiple Block II subsystems, including the in-house avionics and thermal improvements, to gain flight heritage and validate lessons learned ahead of the full configuration upgrade on Flight 8.
