Firefly Aerospace by Max Polyakov started a project named DREAM (a mission for research and education). This program is a contest for individuals of all ages who are interested in space.
DREAM program accepts all kinds of ideas, from painting experiments to orbit satellites. The best projects will travel to space using the Alpha rocket.
The aim of this is to contribute towards maths, engineering, technology and science which additionally help in improving the aerospace industry. This will, in turn, make the youths have an interest in science and also have high motivation to come up with better inventions.
The planners selected the projects and a winner will be named soon. Those that took part were supposed to showcase their projects and give technical descriptions of why their ideas need to get some consideration.
According to Max Polyakov, space brings inspiration and it is also a great exercise of inventions, knowledge, and expertise. These days, learners need to know about things that people in the past never knew about. Better learning strategies are getting popular worldwide. The most qualified scientists are the main roles in space initiatives.
Max Polyakov also revealed that they are creating an Alpha rocket which is light in weight and is expected to be a science and commercial rocket. They will take six spacecraft of Airbus to orbit and have some room for DREAM program.
They began by welcoming learners from Firefly school to Alpha checking moments. This was because they needed those learners to witness how the missile engine was getting launched.
The background and accomplishments of Firefly Company
Firefly organization has been there for 5 years now and it is among the leading twenty privately-owned space companies. Its headquarters and facilities for production are situated in the United States.
Firefly organization was created by Tom Markusic who was working at NASA. He started Firefly because he was interested in creating rockets.
Firefly almost collapsed when it lost its main investor but luckily Max Polyakov rescued it. Together with the Noosphere investment fund, Max asked an expert in Ukraine to work with Firefly. The scientific potential of Ukraine is very high; in fact, it was among the leading space nations.
The company under Max Polyakov has achieved a lot so far. Most importantly they were even allowed by America to use two cosmodromes in two different places.
Firefly also entered contracts with SSTL, D Orbit, Airbus and other companies. Apart from that, Max Polyakov was asked by NASA to participate in the Artemis lunar initiative.
The president of the United States also invested 4.2 billion dollars in the 1st level of the commercial lunar payload services (CLPS) initiative.
Currently, Firefly Company is planning to launch Alpha rocket. They are also working towards improving Israeli Lunar landing technology under the Artemis project.
Also, Firefly is planning to carry out eight missions yearly and that figure is expected to get to twenty-four once they establish another factory in America.
