Mission Details

VICTUS SOL

VICTUS SOL is the third U.S. Space Force Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission that will be launched aboard Firefly’s Alpha rocket. The mission builds on the lessons learned from the VICTUS NOX and VICTUS HAZE missions to further advance our nation’s capabilities to rapidly respond to on-orbit needs. Ahead of the VICTUS SOL mission, Firefly will continue to launch other government and commercial missions while maintaining an Alpha rocket on standby for the U.S. Space Force. Then at an unknown time, the Space Force will give Firefly a notice to launch for space vehicle deployment.
