Firefly Aerospace Launches Alpha Flight 7 "Stairway To Seven"
Alpha Flight 7 is the last flown in the rocket’s current configuration and serves as a test flight with the primary goal to achieve nominal first and second stage performance.Flight 7 will test and validate key systems ahead of Firefly’s Block II configuration upgrade on Flight 8 that’s designed to enhance reliability and manufacturability across the vehicle. The Block II configuration includes a 7-foot increase to Alpha’s length, consolidated batteries and avionics built in house, an enhanced thermal protection system, and stronger carbon composite structures built with automated machinery.
The subsystems tested on Flight 7, including the in-house avionics and thermal improvements, will allow Firefly to gain flight heritage and validate lessons learned ahead of the full configuration upgrade.
The Alpha FLTA007 Stairway To Seven mission is prepared to launch no earlier than Saturday, February 28, 2026. A 2 hour window begins at 4:50PM PST. Stairway To Seven will launch from Firefly’s SLC-2 complex at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
