United Launch Alliance (ULA) hoists its Vulcan booster into the new Amazon Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket will launch the Vulcan Leo 1 mission in support of the Amazon Leo broadband satellite constellation(United Launch Alliance)Updated November 13, 2026 at 2:35 PM EST United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket is now set to return to flight Saturday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after being grounded since February.
The Details
The rocket was supposed to launch Friday afternoon, but ULA called off that attempt after there was a power interruption in the nearby nitrogen plant. The power issue caused a problem for its high-pressure pumps.
An issue with one of the rocket's solid boosters prompted the grounding and investigation into an anomaly observed in the rocket's solid rocket boosters. A search for what went wrong is still ongoing. ULA has implemented some fixes ahead of this launch.
The new launch window opens Saturday at 12:32:30 p
