Rocket Report: ULA has a wild idea; Starliner crew will stay in orbit even longerThe Vulcan rocket is delayed, while Blue Origin aims to launch New Glenn before year's end.
ULA's second Vulcan rocket lost part of its booster and kept goingThe Vulcan rocket's second test flight was key for certifying it for military missions, despite a minor anomaly with one booster.
After nozzle failure, Space Force is "assessing" impacts to Vulcan scheduleThe Vulcan rocket has successfully begun certification for military missions with promising test flight results, overcoming mechanical issues.

ULA is examining debris recovered from Vulcan rocket's shattered booster nozzleULA's Vulcan rocket successfully compensated for a booster issue during a test flight, but military certification requires further validation with additional successful flights.
NASA is ready to start buying Vulcan rockets from United Launch AllianceULA's successful Vulcan rocket test allows competition for NASA contracts, ending SpaceX's sole big mission rights.
A mid-September test flight of Vulcan could permit a military launch this yearUnited Launch Alliance targeting September 16 for second Vulcan rocket test flight.
ULA will launch its second Vulcan rocket without a real payloadUnited Launch Alliance's second Vulcan rocket flight in September will use a dummy payload instead of Sierra Space's Dream Chaser, enabling ULA to start launching US military satellites by year-end.
Air Force is "growing concerned" about the pace of Vulcan rocket launchesUnited Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket faced delays in development, impacting the planned military payload launches.
