A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket will launch the USSF-51 mission for the United States Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC). Liftoff will occur from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. This is the 100th ULA launch dedicated to national security. The USSF-51 mission marks the 58th and final national security launch on Atlas V as ULA transitions to the next generation Vulcan rocket for continued access to space. Vulcan incorporates the best of the legacy Atlas and Delta rockets to create one launch solution that is flexible, affordable, and meets the full spectrum of needs demanded by complex national security satellite deployment missions.
