Vulcan VC2S | Peregrine lunar lander (Maiden flight)

United Launch Alliance | USA
Cape Canaveral, FL, USA
Jan. 8, 2024, 7:18 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

Maiden flight of ULA's Vulcan launch vehicle carrying the Peregrine lunar lander developed by Astrobotic Technology. Astrobotic was selected by NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program to deliver up to 14 NASA payloads to the Moon on its Peregrine lunar lander in 2022.

Atlas V 501 | Project Kuiper Protoflight Mission (Atlas V #1)

United Launch Alliance | USA
Cape Canaveral, FL, USA
Oct. 6, 2023, 6:06 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

This launch will launch 2 KuiperSat demonstration satellites to 500 km altitude, 30 degree inclination orbit. They were previously scheduled on the 1st Vulcan launch. Project Kuiper is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.

Atlas V 401 | JPSS 2 (Joint Polar Satellite System spacecraft No. 2) & LOFTID

United Launch Alliance | USA
Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA
Nov. 10, 2022, 9:49 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

JPSS is a collaborative program between NOAA and NASA. JPSS-2 is one of five satellites that will comprise the JPSS constellation. These spacecraft gather global measurements of atmospheric, terrestrial and oceanic conditions, including sea and land surface temperatures, vegetation, clouds, rainfall, snow and ice cover, fire locations and smoke plumes, atmospheric temperature, water vapor and ozone. LOFTID is a tech demo for the inflatable heatshield technology. It will attempt to survive a reentry from orbit after JPSS 2 is separated. This test will validate the technology for various applications, such as landing large payloads on Mars and engine reuse on ULA’s Vulcan rocket.

Atlas V 531 | SES-20 & SES-21

United Launch Alliance | USA
Cape Canaveral, FL, USA
Oct. 4, 2022, 9:36 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

SES-20 & SES-21 are a pair of C-band communication satellites built by Boeing, using the highly efficient all-electric propulsion BSS-702SP satellite bus. These satellites will enable SES to clear 280MHz of mid-band spectrum for 5G use while seamlessly migrating SES’s existing C-band customers and ensuring the continued delivery of digital television to nearly 120 million American TV homes and other critical data services.
