Firefly ran its 6th launch of the Alpha rocket on Tue Apr 29, 2025 at
6:37 AM PDT. First stage operation was nominal through MECO, and the
second stage labored on trying to reach orbit, but the first stage did something that left the Lightning engine without a nozzle, reducing performance enough to miss orbital velocity.
