The 202-foot (61-meter) Vulcan Centaur has made two successful flights thus far. The rocket's first flight in January 2024 saw Vulcan launch Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander toward the moon — only for the lander to suffer an anomaly and fall back to Earth through no fault of the rocket.

A United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket is gearing up to carry a classified national security payload into space Tuesday night for the United States Space Force.

Depending on weather and cloud cover, ULA Vulcan rocket launch in Cape Canaveral may be seen from Vero Beach to Port St. Lucie to Fort Pierce, Florida
