Rockets are the foundation of our journey into space. 🚀
Rockets carry the diverse missions that connect our world, expand our knowledge and inspire us to explore farther. At United Launch Alliance, we launch critical missions that shape our future — from national security and scientific discovery to global communications. As we celebrate #WSW2026, our goal is to inspire the next generation to dream bigger and explore farther.
#WorldSpaceWeek // @WorldSpaceWeek
World Space Week brings together an international audience committed to curiosity, progress and the future of space. This year’s theme #RocketRevolution reflects the momentum of evolving launch technology, expanding horizons and the people who make it all possible.
Happy #WorldSpaceWeek!
World Space Week celebrates how science and technology improve life here on Earth.

We are already working towards the Starliner-1 mission and look forward to our continued work with @BoeingSpace and @NASA to integrate and certify our #VulcanRocket for human spaceflight. We are committed to being a long-term launch provider of human spaceflight capability to low Earth orbit.
The uncrewed Starliner-1 mission is planned for the December 2026/January 2027 timeframe.
Together with @NASA, we're making Starliner hardware enhancements and adding resources for human spaceflight certification. These changes support the spacecraft as a long-term provider of crewed missions to low Earth orbit.

Thanks @NASAAdmin for stopping by our factory in Decatur, Alabama to check out Centaur V production capabilities! We are honored to be involved in America’s return to the Moon as part of the @NASAArtemis program.
In honor of National Aerospace Week, we’re celebrating the innovation and teamwork driving America’s future in space. Earlier this year, our ICPS-2 upper stage delivered Orion and the Artemis II crew to orbit, supporting @NASA’s long-term return to the Moon and future missions to Mars.

Today we look back on the mighty Atlas V rocket on the 24th anniversary of its inaugural launch. The storied rocket family has supported a wide range of missions, from scientific to national security and commercial endeavors. For the past quarter-century, Atlas V has successfully launched five trips to Mars, the first spacecraft to Pluto and countless spacecraft to make life better on Earth.
A picture is worth a thousand words. 📸
This #WorldPhotographyDay, we’re celebrating the images that capture spaceflight in action and preserve the moments behind every mission.

Vulcan Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR)✔️
Yesterday, ULA conducted a Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR), at Space Launch Complex-41. This full day-of-launch demonstration loaded propellant into the Vulcan rocket and new LEO-optimized Centaur V upper stage, and tested functions of the new Vulcan Launch Platform (VLP)-A, the second Vulcan platform to serve @AmazonLeo missions on our heavy-lift rocket.
