United Launch Alliance (ULA)

Congratulations to Doug Lebo, Engineering Leader and Launch Conductor for ULA’s human spaceflight missions for receiving NASA’s Silver Snoopy from Starliner CFT astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams all the way from the International Space Station! This unique award symbolizes the intent and spirit of the Space Flight Awareness program. An astronaut always presents the Silver Snoopy because it is the astronauts’ own award for outstanding performance, contributing to flight safety and mission success. Fewer than one percent of the aerospace program workforce receives it annually, making it a special honor to receive this award. As Butch as Suni are on the International Space Station, Starliner-1 Commander Scott Tingle presented the Silver Snoopy in person while Butch and Suni downlinked from the ISS to personally thank Doug for his dedication to safety and the mission. #ISS

Congratulations to the ULA Vulcan team as the recipient of the 2024 Dr. Wernher von Braun spaceflight Trophy Award! The #VulcanRocket team was presented the trophy at the 36th Annual Dr. Wernher von Braun Memorial Dinner recently in Huntsville, Alabama. Thank you National Space Club - Huntsville! We are honored to receive this prestigious von Braun Spaceflight Trophy, the Club’s premier award, which is presented to an individual or organization that has made great achievement in advancing spaceflight programs, contributing to U.S. leadership in the field of rocketry and astronautics. The #VulcanRocket provides higher performance and greater affordability while continuing to deliver our unmatched reliability and orbital precision for all our customers across the national security, civil, and commercial markets.

We received another Blue Origin #BE4 engine! This engine will be integrated for a future United States Space Force national security space global positioning system (#GPS) mission. The continued delivery of BE-4 engines contributes a critical building block towards our increased launch cadence and launching #VulcanRocket missions for all our customers across civil, government and commercial space.?

#ICYMI: Last week, we officially laid the keel for the future R/S SpaceShip, a new ship to transport?#VulcanRockets?from the factory in Decatur, Alabama to the launch sites at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and Vandenberg Space Force?Base in California. This is the second transport vessel in ULA’s maritime fleet. Bollinger Shipyards?United Launch Alliance (ULA) Bristol Harbor Group, Inc.?#ULA?#UnitedLaunchAlliance?#SpaceExploration See less

OTD in 2004, MESSENGER launched aboard a heritage #DeltaII rocket beginning a 4.9 billion mile journey to Mercury that took more than 6.5 years! Not only did ULA heritage rockets launch missions to Mercury including MESSENGER and Mariner 10, but also to neighboring planet Venus, which included NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration missions Pioneer Venus Multiprobe, Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Mariner 2, 5, 10! #ExplorationEnabled
