United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket today successfully launched national security spacecraft into geosynchronous orbit, including a "neighborhood watch" mission to patrol the strategic high ground of space. Despite the solid rocket motor performance anomaly, the Vulcan booster and Centaur performed nominally and delivered the spacecraft directly to the intended orbit.

It is Vulcan's night to shine! ULA has started the countdown to our night owl launch that will be visible for hundreds of miles around. The two-hour window opens at 3:30 a.m. EST (0830 UTC) for liftoff from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral. This launch, known as the USSF-87 mission for the U.S. Space Force, will deliver spacecraft directly into geosynchronous orbit 22,000 miles above the Earth. bit.ly/vulcan_ussf87

United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket is on the launch pad for the USSF-87 mission that will place U.S. national security spacecraft into geosynchronous orbit. It will be our next-generation rocket's heaviest payload yet and the longest flight to date, lasting 10 hours. Liftoff is scheduled for Thursday at 3:30 a.m. EST (0830 UTC) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral. Weather forecasters give a 95% chance of GO conditions. Our play-by-play status journal begins at 10 p.m. EST (0300 UTC) and the live webcast starts 20 minutes before liftoff. bit.ly/vulcan_ussf87
