    Vulcan Rocket Cleared to Launch US National Security Satellites

    Boeing and Lockheed Martin’s Vulcan Rocket Approved for US National Security Launches

    The US Space Force has officially approved Boeing and Lockheed Martin’s Vulcan rocket for launching national security satellites. This certification allows the rocket to support the country’s most vital space missions, joining the ranks of trusted launch vehicles.

    Strengthening the Nation’s Space Capabilities

    Brigadier General Kristin Panzenhagen, the programme executive officer for assured access to space, confirmed the decision. She stated that Vulcan’s certification brings the added launch capacity, flexibility, and reliability required for safeguarding national space assets.

    This move broadens the options available to the US military, which previously relied solely on SpaceX for such high-security missions.

    Vulcan Replaces Atlas V and Competes with SpaceX

    Vulcan was developed by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin. It is designed to replace the long-serving Atlas V rocket, which has been a dependable asset for years. The new rocket also aims to compete with SpaceX’s Falcon 9, a reusable launch system created by Elon Musk’s company.

    While SpaceX was the first to be trusted with these critical launches, the inclusion of Vulcan provides the US Space Force with more strategic options and greater operational resilience.

    Expanding Launch Choices for National Defence

    With Vulcan now cleared for national security missions, the US Space Force has more flexibility in choosing the right launch vehicle for each mission. This expansion reduces dependency on a single provider and helps ensure continued access to space, especially in challenging or urgent situations.

    The certification marks a significant milestone in the evolving landscape of space defence and launch operations.
