Firefly Aerospace (NASDAQ:FLY), a market leading space and defense technology company, today announced a multi-launch agreement with Synspective Inc., a Japanese synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data and solutions provider, for up to 10 launches on Firefly's Alpha rocket through 2030.

With the ability to launch 1,000 kg to low Earth orbit, Alpha will deliver two of Synspective's SAR satellites to orbit per mission, deploying up to 20 total satellites. This cadence gives Synspective an efficient path to rapidly scale its StriX constellation, doubling its deployment pace compared to single-satellite missions.

Under the agreement, Firefly will launch Synspective's SAR satellites from both Pad-0A at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This dual-coast launch capability provides Synspective with flexible access to a range of orbital inclinations as the company continues to build out its constellation.
