Firefly Aerospace Brings Moon-Landing AI Navigation In-House After Blue Ghost Success
Summary
Firefly Aerospace acquired Space-ng Inc. to bring its AI vision navigation system in-house after the Blue Ghost lunar landing success. The deal gives Firefly full control over terrain relative navigation software, spacecraft cameras, and AI compute hardware that already proved itself during autonomous lunar hazard avoidance maneuvers. Firefly plans to use the technology across five contracted missions, including additional NASA lunar deliveries and a Defense Innovation Unit space domain awareness project. The move also strengthens Firefly’s position in GPS-denied autonomy for both commercial and defense space programs.
