The Vulcan Centaur rocket successfully launched two spy satellites into geosynchronous orbit for the U.S. Space Force on Thursday, February 12, despite experiencing a significant performance anomaly in one of its solid rocket motors. The mission marked the fourth launch of the Vulcan Centaur rocket and demonstrated its ability to overcome technical challenges.
The United Launch Alliance"s Vulcan rocket experienced a problem with one of its solid rocket boosters shortly after launch on February 12, 2026, but continued on its planned trajectory to deliver payloads for the U.S. Space Force. The incident occurred during the USSF-87 mission, which includes at least one Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellite.
The United Launch Alliance is set to launch the USSF-87 mission for the U.S. Space Force, carrying multiple satellites including the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program system, with a launch window opening at 3:30 a.m. EST on Thursday morning. The mission aims to deliver its payload to Geosynchronous Earth orbit, marking a significant operation for the U.S. Space Force.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) aims to launch between 18 and 22 times in 2026, with a mix of Atlas 5 and Vulcan missions, marking a significant increase in launch cadence. This surge in launches is driven by a large backlog of missions, including a major contract with Amazon to deploy its broadband internet satellites into low Earth orbit.
The United Launch Alliance (ULA) has successfully offloaded its first Vulcan rocket at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, marking a significant milestone in the company's efforts to reestablish its West Coast launch capabilities. This development sets the stage for the upcoming launch of the USSF-87 mission, which is scheduled to take place no earlier than February 12, 2026.
