Vulcan Centaur is the obvious choice for critical satellite delivery for both commercial and national security missions. Our second stage is purpose built to meet all of the requirements of America's space launch needs.
ULA was awarded the number one best value choice for the government, focusing on our lowest cost, our best track record, first in class schedule certainty and unmatched mission success the technical capabilities.
Vulcan Centaur is built by applying more than 120 years of combined launch experiences. An evolution of the flight proven, highly successful Atlas and Delta vehicles, Vulcan Centaur introduces a balance of new technologies and innovative features transforming the future of space access, advancing America’s superiority in space.
ULA remains the nation’s only full range launch provider and has the experience as the only provider to demonstrate success flying to all orbits (including the most challenging Heavy-Class CAT C missions.)
Vulcan Centaur is the only launch vehicle purpose-built to meet all of our nation’s space launch requirements and is being flown by the only company with 100 percent mission success. Leveraging proven processes, technology, and expertise, Vulcan Centaur provides the highest value launch service for lower cost to meet the nation’s demanding commercial and national security space requirements.
We have never failed to meet our customer’s launch needs and ULA consistently delivers the military’s most sensitive satellites which strengthens our national security and support our troops.
The @blueorigin #BE4 engine for #VulcanCentaur arrived at our Decatur, AL factory. ULA’s next-gen rocket is on track for launch in 2021! #CountdowntoVulcan
Here's another #ToryTimelapse. #VulcanCentaur is coming together, including the pad modifications! Let's take him to space next year... #CountdowntoVulcan
In order for both #VulcanCentaur and #AtlasV to launch from the same launch pad, an enhanced water suppression system for Vulcan was added to SLC-41 #CountdowntoVulcan
Our Centaur upper stage is today and will remain in the future the highest performing upper stage in the world, allowing ULA to successfully place satellites into the most complex orbits and complete the most difficult missions.
Vulcan Centaur, an evolution from the rich heritage of Atlas and Delta rockets. By applying industry best practices for complex systems design while blending flight proven hardware to achieve the right mix of reliability with new innovation, Vulcan Centaur builds on decades of progressive history.
ULA brings together the best of industry to the Vulcan Centaur design. Significant investment has been made to modernize the existing ULA production facility in Decatur, Alabama, and launch complex on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
