US Space Force Pauses Flights on Boeing-Lockheed’s Vulcan Rocket

The US Space Force is suspending missions on United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket after one of the vehicle’s components suffered a technical issue during a launch earlier this month.

The joint venture between Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. has encountered years of delays and technical problems with the Vulcan, which has only flown four times since its debut in January 2024.
