Document Description
ULA announced the Vulcan Centaur Program in 2015 to reduce cost, increase launch capability and provide the opportunity to partner with companies in the United States (US) to develop rocket engines that eliminate reliance on the current Atlas V Russian-supplied RD-180 engines. The Vulcan Centaur vehicle is designed primarily to meet all current United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Space Force (USSF) Launch Service Agreement (LSA), previously referred to as the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV), requirements and will support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial payloads. ULA intends to phase out its current Atlas V and Delta IV Program. ULA’s Delta II launch vehicle was retired in 2019.
