ULA’s Vulcan rocket in “final phase” of certification

[+thexfile Subscriber²]

United Launch Alliance continues to make strides towards launching its first national security mission with its Vulcan rocket, but the exact timing of that launch remains uncertain.

The U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command is still in the process of certifying the rocket following its second test mission (Cert-2), which launched on Oct. 4 with an inert payload. Once that is complete, it will pave the way for Vulcan’s first flight under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program: USSF-106.
