NASA’s launch partner for the MESAT1 mission is start-up Firefly Aerospace. Firefly’s Alpha rocket is the ride to space for MESAT1, but on Alpha’s inaugural launch last September, one of four engines failed mid-flight. Firefly CEO Tom Markusic told CNBC’s Michael Sheets that May was the target for a second launch, and the third would be about 8 weeks after. MESAT1 is on the manifest list for the third Alpha. Looks like the MESAT1 launch slips to July.
Launch Delay for MESAT1?
