On July 21, Firefly Aerospace rose 8.03% in regular trading, trading at $21.16/share, with turnover of $29.80 million. The rally was driven by a confluence of recently secured NASA contracts and broader aerospace sector strength.

On the news front, the company has accumulated significant contract wins in recent weeks. In early July, Firefly was awarded a $144 million NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services contract for a rapid Blue Ghost lunar lander mission targeting a launch in 2028. Shortly after, the company secured a $13 million subcontract from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to manufacture, test, and deliver an aeroshell for the SkyFall Mars mission, which will deploy three heritage Mars helicopters for science demonstrations and subsurface mapping.

Additionally, Firefly recently completed its acquisition of Space-ng, integrating AI-driven vision navigation and autonomous guidance systems into its Blue Ghost lunar landers and Elytra orbital vehicles. The aerospace sector traded broadly higher on the session, with peer Rocket Lab rising 4.96%, providing further tailwind for Firefly's rebound from recent lows.
