United Launch Alliance (ULA) achieved a significant milestone with the launch of its new Vulcan Centaur rocket, which marked its first national security mission sanctioned by the U.S. Space Force. The launch took place at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and was notable for carrying an experimental satellite designed to enhance future GPS capabilities. This launch is a pivotal step for ULA, as the company plans a substantial increase in launch frequency for the Vulcan in the coming years, aiming for 20 to 25 missions annually starting in the near future. The mission included classified payloads, emphasizing the growing role of ULA in national defense.
