July 11 (Reuters) -

Space and defense technology company Firefly Aerospace on

Friday filed for an initial public offering in the United

States.

The U.S. IPO market is witnessing renewed vigor as

investors return after months of sluggish activity triggered by

trade policy uncertainty under President Donald Trump earlier

this year.

Texas-based Firefly designs and manufactures small and

medium lift launch vehicles, lunar landers and orbital transfer

vehicles, leveraging common flight-proven technologies.

It will list on the Nasdaq under the symbol "FLY".

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Jefferies and Wells Fargo are

the lead underwriters for the offering.
