Boeing Space Joint Venture to Launch 12 Times in 2025, and Double That in 2026
To make more money, United Launch Alliance must launch more rockets. And now it can.
Give Tory Bruno credit: He called it.
Last year, the CEO of Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) joint venture United Launch Alliance (ULA) seemed frustrated at the amount of time the U.S. Space Force was taking to decide whether to certify Vulcan Centaur, ULA's new space rocket, as being safe to launch national security cargoes. Nevertheless, after decades in the space business, and well familiar with how these things go, Bruno confidently predicted in December that Space Force would eventually clear his rocket for launch, whether "this month, next month, [or in the] next few months."
Mentally translating "few" as "no more than three," I interpreted this as meaning Bruno expected certification no later than March 2025. And wouldn't you know it? Last week, on March 26, 2025, Space Force came through for ULA. As of today, Vulcan Centaur is USSF-certified for launch.
