United Launch Alliance | Vulcan VC4S | USSF-87 Rocket Launch
USSF-87 will launch two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8 directly to a near-geosynchronous orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator.
Data from the GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, further enabling space flight safety including satellite collision avoidance.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan VC6L | Amazon Leo (LV-01) Rocket Launch
Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.
45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan | GPS III SV10 Rocket Launch
Tenth of ten GPS III missions.
United Launch Alliance | Atlas V N22 | Starliner-1 Rocket Launch
Starliner-1 is the first operational flight of a Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Due to problems with the Starliner spacecraft’s RCS attitude control system during the Crew Flight Test mission in 2024, this mission has been re-scoped to not carry a crew by NASA. It will instead deliver necessary cargo to the orbital laboratory and allow in-flight validation of the system upgrades implemented following the Crew Flight Test mission last year.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan | USSF-57 Rocket Launch
First of three Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared geostationary satellites designed for missile warning.
United Launch Alliance | Atlas V N22 | Starliner-2 Rocket Launch
Starliner-2 is the second crewed operational flight of a Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan | SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer B Rocket Launch
Tranche 1 Tracking Layer B is one of five missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Tracking Layer constellation, which will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan | SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer D Rocket Launch
Tranche 1 Tracking Layer D is one of five missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Tracking Layer constellation, which will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.
