API Showcase - Launch Library 2 🚀

Next Launch ⌛

The next space launch, retrieved from our Launch Library 2 API, is Firefly Alpha | Stairway to Seven. It is scheduled to be launched by Firefly Aerospace from Space Launch Complex 2W, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA at 2026-03-02 00:50:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 98 out of 865 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Test Flight and the payload will be injected into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Firefly Alpha's Flight 7 will be a test flight and return-To-Flight for the launch vehicle after its April 2025 launch failure. It 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.

Flight 7 will be the last flown in Alpha’s current configuration and will test multiple Block II subsystems, including the in-house avionics and thermal improvements, to gain flight heritage and validate lessons learned ahead of the full configuration upgrade on Flight 8.
