Hello and welcome back to Max Q!
In this issue:
Firefly Aerospace is making moves ahead of what is shaping up to be a very busy summer. First, read here about a possible August launch attempt for a mission for NASA. Then, catch up with our coverage of the company’s latest surprising acquisition.
Unfortunately, Ursa Major is the latest company to have implemented a round of layoffs, affecting at least 15 people. Those include quality specialists and propulsion engineers. The company, which develops and manufactures engines for space launch and hypersonic applications, has had some major wins in recent months, but these layoffs certainly suggest trouble is afoot.
