To rival SpaceX’s Starship, ULA eyes Vulcan rocket upgrade
ORLANDO - Boeing and Lockheed Martin's joint rocket venture, United Launch Alliance , plans to upgrade a version of its Vulcan rocket to challenge SpaceX's Starship in the low Earth orbit satellite launch market, the company's CEO said.
"And we've selected a modification to Vulcan which gives us significantly more mass to LEO and puts us in a competitive range." Though SpaceX's Starship is primarily designed for crewed missions to the moon and Mars, the company plans to use it to accelerate its deployment of huge batches of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit.
ULA has several Vulcan missions booked with Amazon to deploy its Kuiper internet satellites into space, making the rocket an important part of Amazon's strategy to challenge Starlink. Amazon has also booked launches with other rockets as part of a record 2022 multi-launch agreement.
