Get your coffee or favorite caffeinated beverage ready, as the rocket launch is scheduled for early morning.
United Launch Alliance is scheduled to launch an Atlas V rocket for the Space Force’s Space Systems Command from Cape Canaveral at 6:45 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 30. This will be the final national security mission for the Atlas family of rockets.
The USSF-51 mission is a secret Space Force payload.
While this will be the rocket’s final national security payload, it won’t be the last Atlas V launch. More launches are scheduled before the rocket is officially retired. The ULA Vulcan rocket replaces the already retired Delta IV and Atlas V rockets.
