Firefly Aerospace Expands into Lunar Imaging with Ocula Service
Firefly Aerospace has announced Ocula, a new lunar imaging service that uses high-resolution telescopes from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to capture ultraviolet and visible spectrum images of the Moon’s surface. The service will be offered through Firefly’s Elytra orbital vehicles and will provide situational awareness, resource detection, and mission planning capabilities. Ocula will be one of the first commercial lunar imaging services on the market, and Firefly plans to license the data to government and commercial customers at a low cost.
