Next week is set to be very quiet in terms of rocket launches but as long as everything goes to plan, we could see Firefly Aerospace perform the maiden flight of the Alpha rocket carrying 26 CubeSats.
If you cast your mind back to mid-March, This Week in Rocket Launches #4 was released explaining that Firefly Aerospace was set for the maiden flight of its Alpha rocket. Unfortunately, the launch was delayed but it looks like it should take off next Friday. The upcoming week is unusually quiet for launches and the Firefly Aerospace flight is the only one set in stone. The first and only launch we can look forward to this coming week will take place between 1 and 6 a.m. UTC on Friday. Firefly Aerospace will attempt to launch its Alpha rocket from Vandenberg AFD Space Launch Complex 2.
