The satellite was launched at 6:13 a.m. from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station atop ULA’s Atlas V rocket, the same vehicle primed to send a manned space capsule into orbit for NASA by 2020. The Lockheed Martin-built Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite is one of six in a constellation upgrade to the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center’s older Milstar network.
The joint venture is transitioning from its Atlas V rocket — a legacy workhorse for U.S. national security missions — to Vulcan Centaur, a heavy-lift vehicle tailored to compete for lucrative defense contracts and wean the United States off the Russian-made RD-180 engines that power Atlas.
