ULA targets May for debut of new Vulcan Centaur rocket
On Thursday , Vulcan rolled out to its launch pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station for tanking tests and other trials. Payload integration will take place following those tests. Bruno also added during the Feb. 23 call that ULA and Blue Origin are still finalizing official qualification of the BE-4 engine.
Having slipped several times in 2022, ULA had hoped to launch Vulcan in the first quarter of this year. However, the ULA CEO voiced confidence in the company's ability to carry out this mission and Vulcan's next one, which will loft Sierra Space's cargo spacecraft. Both have to launch successfully in order for Vulcan to be certified for its first national security launch, planned for sometime in the fourth quarter of 2023.
