Castheon, a division of ADDMAN, is proud to support the Blue Ghost, Firefly Aerospace’s advanced lunar lander designed for NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. Specifically, Castheon supported the 3D printing process of Firefly’s Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, a critical component that enables precise navigation and stability during the mission.

Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander represents a leap forward in lunar exploration, featuring innovative engineering to deliver science and technology payloads to the Moon’s surface. The RCS thrusters play a vital role in ensuring mission success, requiring exacting tolerances and advanced materials to withstand the extreme conditions of space.

Leveraging our expertise in refractory metal additive manufacturing and tight-tolerance machining, Castheon provided advanced solutions that meet the rigorous demands of the aerospace industry. This collaboration underscores ADDMAN’s commitment to driving innovation in defense and space exploration.
