New spacecraft cleanroom complete! Today we were joined by NASA Moon Base leadership, the Texas Space Commission, and federal and state government representatives, to celebrate this milestone. Funded by a Texas Space Commission grant, this facility is four times larger than our existing cleanroom, allowing us to ramp up production of our lunar landers and orbital spacecraft to support our growing mission manifest. Thank you to our partners for your support and continued investment in Texas' space future. @NASAMoonBase @TXSpaceComm @SenTedCruz @JudgeCarter @CedarParkTX fireflyspace.com/news/firefl…
