Behind the scenes as prep continues for Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01), the first of 38 Vulcan missions on contract with @ULAlaunch.
Teams have completed integration of the first LEO-optimized Centaur upper stage with Vulcan inside Amazon's dedicated Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A), allowing ULA to begin the next phase of testing ahead of upcoming Leo Vulcan launches from SLC-41.

The first low Earth orbit (LEO)-optimized Centaur upper stage is now integrated atop the Vulcan rocket at ULA's @AmazonLeo Integration Facility!
Integrating the vehicle with the new LEO 85K Centaur upper stage allows the team to perform first time procedures, validate stage and ground support equipment interfaces with a planned Wet Dress Rehearsal to validate new technologies in advance of the first Vulcan Leo mission.

Look back at Leo Atlas 7 (LA-07).
With 300 satellites on orbit, we're continuing to grow our constellation ahead of an initial service rollout this year.
Leo will be back on the pad soon for LA-08, our final launch on Atlas V before transitioning to @ULALaunch's new heavy-lift Vulcan rocket.

Successful Atlas staging is confirmed as the rocket passes off the coast of North Carolina Outer Banks at an altitude of 125 miles. The Centaur upper stage continues the ascent by accelerating the Amazon Leo payload to orbit. The vehicle now weighs less than seven percent of its liftoff mass. bit.ly/av_leo7

Atlas V has exited Earth's atmosphere and crossed the Karman line, allowing the payload fairing to be jettisoned. The rocket is over 115 miles downrange from the launch pad and traveling more than 7,000 mph. bit.ly/av_leo7

Solid rocket booster burnout and jettison is confirmed. The five GEM 63s consumed a half-million pounds (227,000 kg) of propellant to augment the initial liftoff power of the Atlas V. The rocket now weighs half of what it did at liftoff less than two minutes ago. bit.ly/av_leo7
