United Launch Alliance (ULA) is preparing to launch its Atlas 5 rocket carrying a payload of 29 Amazon Leo satellites, marking the largest and heaviest payload carried to orbit by an Atlas 5 rocket to date. The mission, scheduled for Saturday, April 4, will be the fifth launch of operational satellites by ULA for the Amazon Leo constellation.
On April 4, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket will launch 29 Amazon Leo internet satellites into low Earth orbit as part of Amazon's effort to provide global internet service from space. This launch marks a significant step in the development of Amazon's megaconstellation, which aims to eventually consist of approximately 3,200 satellites.
The US Space Force has decided to launch the GPS III-8 satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket instead of the originally planned United Launch Alliance Vulcan Centaur due to technical issues with the latter's solid rocket boosters. This change is significant as it affects the final mission in the GPS III line and highlights ongoing challenges with the Vulcan Centaur program.
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.
