Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:02:42 -0400

Firefly Aerospace (Nasdaq: FLY) has signed a commercial payload agreement with Zeno Power Systems to fly a radioisotope heating unit aboard a Blue Ghost lunar lander mission scheduled to launch no earlier than 2028, according to a press release from the companies.

Zeno Power's Survive-the-Night Package includes a 5-watt thermal americium-241 Radioisotope Heater Unit, along with structural, communications, electrical power, command and data handling, and thermal management subsystems. The unit generates heat through the natural decay of radioactive material, without relying on solar power.

The mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and targets the Moon's near side. After
