A methalox rocket using engines procured from Blue Orgin. The rocket is an expendable design, though ULA has panned re-use of the engines through helicopter recovery of the engine unit. The core uses liquid-fuel, while various configurations of solid fuel boosters can be attached (up to six), per the specifics of the launch. Vulcan refers to the first stage, while Centaur refers to the upgraded (Centaur IV) second stage.
First launch occurred in 2024, launching the Peregrine lunar lander from Astrobotic, and a funeral payload from Celestis.
