The Boeing-built CST-100 Starliner spacecraft completed its docking to the International Space Station Friday as part of the Orbital Flight Test-2 mission under a partnership with NASA. The reusable spacecraft reached the ISS a day after it launched atop a United Launch Alliance-made Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, Boeing […] More

A Boeing-built reusable spacecraft carrying more than 800 pounds of crew supplies and cargo lifted off Thursday as part of the Orbital Flight Test-2 mission to the International Space Station under a partnership with NASA. The CST-100 Starliner spacecraft launched aboard a United Launch Alliance-made Atlas V rocket from a space launch complex at Cape […] More

Aerojet Rocketdyne has received a contract from United Launch Alliance for the procurement of RL10C-X engines that will be used to power the upper stages of the latter’s Vulcan Centaur rocket. The Florida-based propulsion system manufacturer said Monday it will supply 116 engines to ULA under what is currently the RL10 program’s largest contract. ULA […] More

United Launch Alliance will now provide Amazon with launch services that would cover nearly 50 missions to send broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit for the latter’s Kuiper constellation. ULA said Tuesday its upcoming Vulcan Centaur two-stage heavy-lift vehicle will conduct 38 liftoff operations from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida for the Amazon initiative […] More

NASA and United Launch Alliance have launched the third satellite of a constellation designed to gather weather data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The GOES-T unit, part of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite series, lifted off on Tuesday aboard ULA’s Atlas V rocket from the Florida-based Canaveral Space Force Station, NASA said Wednesday. […] More

L3Harris Technologies will continue to upgrade a system used to track space launches, debris and other space objects to help counter anti-satellite threats under a potential $50 million contract extension with the U.S. Space Force. The company said Thursday it will integrate government equipment and manage the deployment of applications for the Advanced Tracking and […] More

United Launch Alliance sent to space two U.S. Space Force situational awareness satellites using its Atlas V rocket on Friday. The USSF-8 mission lifted GSSAP-5 and GSSAP-6 satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to a near-geosynchronous orbit under the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program, ULA said the same day as the launch. The two […] More

United Launch Alliance is preparing to launch an Atlas V rocket with two U.S. Space Force satellites designed to support orbital situational awareness and national safety. The USSF-8 mission’s GSSAP-5 and GSSAP-6 satellites will fly to space and then operate from a near-geosynchronous orbit to inform orbital predictions under the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program, […] More

BlueHalo provided the stable platform assemblies that support a NASA payload currently in orbit for the space agency’s two-way, infrared-based communications experimentation in geosynchronous orbit. The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration payload that includes BlueHalo’s technology is designed to help NASA assess the impact of atmospheric events on laser communications, the company said Wednesday. LCRD launched […] More

NASA has rescheduled the launch of the Department of Defense’s Space Test Program 3 mission for Tuesday due to repair work on a faulty ground storage system at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Scrubbing the Monday liftoff of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551 rocket was intended to enable officials to verify fuel integrity […] More

United Launch Alliance‘s Atlas V rocket has launched a NASA spacecraft designed for a 12-year mission to help researchers study the Trojan asteroids that share the orbit of Jupiter around the sun. The Lucy spacecraft embarked on an interplanetary trajectory from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Oct. 16, ULA said Saturday. Lucy will fly […] More

United Launch Alliance and NASA have concluded the flight readiness review of a spacecraft designed to primarily explore eight different asteroids over a potential 12-year mission. The Lucy space probe is scheduled to launch on Saturday at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station aboard ULA’s Atlas V 401 rocket, according to a NASA blog post. The […] More
