US Space Force explores Vulcan Centaur flights without solid rocket boosters under investigation The U.S. Space Force is considering a workaround to resume United Launch Alliance Vulcan missions while solid rocket boosters remain under investigation. The approach would fly Vulcan without the troubled boosters for certain national-security launches, potentially preserving some on-orbit delivery cadence during the grounding.

Space Force weighs using ULA Vulcan for lower-risk missions as it probes a Vulcan Centaur booster anomaly As the U.S. Space Force investigates the root cause of a booster anomaly tied to a Feb. 26 Vulcan Centaur launch, it is also exploring alternatives to still use the rocket for less-complex missions. Pentagon and USSF priority setting is likely to drive mission swaps to keep capability on orbit.
