United Launch Alliance eyes first Vulcan rocket launch later this year

The new Vulcan rocket will be the successor to ULA’s Delta IV and Atlas V rockets.

United Launch Alliance is eyeing a debut launch for the company’s new Vulcan rocket later this year, according to Chief Executive Tory Bruno.

Vulcan will be the successor to ULA’s Delta IV and Atlas V rockets. ULA was set up in 2006 as a joint venture between Boeing Co. BA and Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT . Since then, the company’s Delta and Atlas rockets have been used to send more than 150 missions into orbit. Space.com reported that the upper stage that exploded was not part of the hardware for the debut Vulcan launch. “We will sort that out, we will resolve it,” Bruno said Tuesday.ULA undertook Vulcan rocket tests to simulate a launch day at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station last week.
