United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket appears close to its return to flight mission scheduled for October 29, an Amazon Leo satellite launch. The company has set a no-earlier-than date for this mission, with another Amazon Leo launch planned later in the year. United Launch Alliance officials state that if the solid rocket boosters function correctly, Vulcan could achieve a major breakthrough in launch frequency next year.<\/p>\n

South Korea successfully deployed five satellites on its fifth flight of the Nuri rocket, marking another consecutive success after a 2021 debut failure. The mission launched five primary microsatellites and nine secondary CubeSats, though one secondary payload, PERSAT-02, failed to separate from the vehicle. Science Minister Bae Kyung-hoon pledged continued government support for private sector launches as South Korea shifts toward a commercially driven space industry.<\/p>\n

SpaceX scrubbed a Falcon 9 launch in the final minute of its countdown without providing a reason. The rocket was shifting into an automated startup sequence when the abort occurred. The mission, intended to deploy data satellites for the U.S. Space Force’s Space Development Agency, had previously been rescheduled multiple times. SpaceX is now aiming for a no-earlier-than launch date of October 10 using booster B1103.<\/p>\n
