Vulcan Cert-1 Launch Highlights

United Launch Alliance (ULA) marked the beginning of a new era of space capabilities with the successful launch of its next generation Vulcan rocket on Jan. 8 at 2:18 a.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Vulcan provides industry-leading capabilities to deliver any payload, at any time, to any orbit.

Great job, ULA, we look forward to many more Vulcan flights in the future!!

The launch was louder and lower than Artemis I. Impressive twin BE-4 engines really tore the space coast a good one.

Awesome first flight for Vulcan! Some well-earned confidence for BO with their BE-4's

[@versegen2]

Man that was a beast of a rocket launch, roar was loud and mighty. I wish there were more cameras though, like showing the payload, and separation, the final view of Earth from so high up was so cool.

Good to see the BE-4 engine finally got off the ground.

Great job, ULA! May Vulcan go on to do many awesome things!

I'm from Greece and we don't have the technology and the infrastructure to send something out of orbit... but whenever I hear these words, I cry with joy, emotion "To the moon and beyond..." we wish ULA every success and move on to planet Mars and beyond!!!

BE4 looks great

Watching this live from the cape was exhilerating, and hearing all the go's right after each other during the status check were amazing. I can't wait to see what Vulcan does next for the future of space exploration. Congrats to your entire team of hard workers! (Glad you got that coffee pot fixed too...)

Great job ULA! I love the dichotomy of the blue hue of the Methelox BE4 against the bright glow of the GEM63XL’s.
