BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — United Launch Alliance is preparing to launch its first Vulcan mission for Amazon Leo from Space Launch Complex-41 Sunday afternoon.
The launch window is scheduled to open at 12:11 p.m. and run through 12:40 p.m. EST.
The mission will use ULA’s VC6L Vulcan configuration to deliver Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit. Amazon’s planned broadband constellation will eventually include more than 3,000 satellites designed to provide internet service to customers beyond the reach of existing networks.
The rocket stands 215 feet tall and features six solid rocket boosters, a Centaur V upper stage and a 70-foot payload fairing.
As of 11:16 a.m., ULA reported that weather conditions at Space Launch Complex-41 remained green across the board, with another weather assessment expected ahead of launch.
