    ULA Prepares for Inaugural Vulcan Flight with Peregrine Mission One

    Broke On: Wednesday, 03 January 2024
      ULA is preparing for the inaugural flight of its new Vulcan rocket from Space Launch Complex (SLC) 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Onboard this first flight will be Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander, part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative and the Artemis program. The Vulcan Centaur rocket stands 61.6 meters (202 feet) tall with a consistent diameter of 5.4 meters (18 feet). ULA offers two different-length payload fairings, including a 15.5-meter (51-foot) short fairing and a 21.3-meter (70-feet) long fairing. The first stage booster of the vehicle is made of aluminum orthogrid tanks that hold over 450 tonnes of liquid oxygen and liquid natural gas, which is nearly pure liquid methane. Each engine outputs 2.45 meganewtons (550,000 pounds) of thrust at sea level. Vulcan is available with either zero, two, four or six SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters). NASA is heavily invested in Peregrine Mission One as it seeks to reboot human moon exploration by its Artemis program.
