A second Vulcan flight, also for the Amazon Leo constellation, is already booked for later this year. Both missions depend on Vulcan's solid rocket boosters performing cleanly. If they do, ULA believes it can significantly ramp up Vulcan's launch cadence in 2027.\n\nThat matters because Amazon's satellite-broadband buildout needs more than one rocket family to get hardware into orbit, and Vulcan is among the few credible alternatives to SpaceX's Falcon 9. A steady cadence next year would also reassure the Pentagon, which has committed national-security payloads to Vulcan despite its thin flight record so far.\n\nTwo launches before year's end is a modest bar to clear. A genuine cadence breakthrough is still a 2027 promise, not a 2026 fact.","[\"ula\",\"vulcan-rocket\",\"amazon-leo\",\"spaceflight\"]","2026-10-09T11:00:57.000Z","2026-10-10T10:30:00.730Z","2026-10-10T10:30:05.760Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The headline promises coverage of a rare Falcon 9 scrub, but the body never mentions Falcon 9 at all — either cut that half of the headline or add the Falcon 9 scrub details from the source.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The headline says Vulcan's return to flight is 'Next Month,' but the October 29 date cited in the dek and body falls within the current month (today is 2026-10-10), so fix the headline's timing to match.","science",[36,37,38,39],"ula","vulcan-rocket","amazon-leo","spaceflight",[41],{"name":42,"url":43},"Ars Technica","https:\u002F\u002Farstechnica.com\u002Fspace\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Frocket-report-a-rare-falcon-9-scrub-is-it-just-about-vulcans-time-to-shine\u002F",0,{"sections":46},[47,52,57,62,67,72,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110],{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"AI","ai",6850,"2026-10-10T00:18:32.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Security","security",941,"2026-10-09T19:25:43.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"Policy","policy",491,"2026-10-09T22:30:04.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":64,"count":65,"latest_published_at":66},"Deals","deals",483,"2026-10-09T11:20:39.000Z",{"name":68,"slug":69,"count":70,"latest_published_at":71},"Hardware","hardware",233,"2026-10-09T16:07:54.000Z",{"name":73,"slug":34,"count":74,"latest_published_at":18},"Science",195,{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",184,"2026-10-09T20:44:34.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Startups","startups",120,"2026-10-09T17:02:31.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Software","software",114,"2026-10-08T17:57:01.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",109,"2026-10-09T13:03:48.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"General","general",69,"2026-10-09T19:10:07.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Gaming","gaming",59,"2026-10-09T11:43:43.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"Reviews","reviews",34,"2026-10-08T14:00:22.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
