Role: Payload host. Provides spacecraft accommodation and related mission services.

Disclosed buyer: Starcloud

This record reports a contract or order. A record may cover more than one instrument and does not establish completed delivery.

Firefly identifies Starcloud as its commercial payload customer. Price, processor configuration, compute capacity, launch vehicle and exact launch date are undisclosed. Lunar deployment and computing remain prospective; Elytra is designed for up to five years in lunar orbit. NASA’s separate CLPS lunar-surface contract is not the value or buyer of this agreement.

Project stage: Demonstration program

Next project milestone: Starcloud-2 commercial follow-on: late-2026/October launch targets in partner and executive announcements, with limited customer access and full operation targeted by 2027.
