ULA's Vulcan Centaur Rocket Engine Test Fire Ends Prematurely at Cape Canaveral

ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket is set to undergo its first engine static fire test on May 25 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The rocket's debut has been delayed several times, and its first mission is to deliver Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander and Amazon's Kuiper internet satellites. ULA needs to complete two Vulcan flights to get certified to launch U.S. military and intelligence satellites for the Space Force, and the company is under contract to deliver 35 missions for the Space Force in the next five years.
