Firefly Aerospace (FLY -16.87%) has secured the title of the largest space tech IPO this year, debuting with a $6.3 billion valuation. The company's recent lunar landing success with its Blue Ghost module in January fueled investor enthusiasm, marking the first fully successful U.S. soft landing on the moon.
Founder Tom Markusic, a SpaceX and Virgin Galactic (SPCE -9.21%) alum, named the company to evoke a future where rocket launches are as commonplace as fireflies. Firefly's Alpha rocket, built from lightweight carbon fiber, has already demonstrated rapid deployment capabilities, launching a satellite into orbit with just 24 hours' notice in 2023.
