ULA is America's most trusted space launch provider with a record of 100% mission success. Out in Space is ULA's #LGBTQ employee resource group and works to foster a sense of community at ULA. In the world of rockets, there's space for everyone!
Delve into the details of this week's #AtlasV#USSF12 mission. Launching Thursday at 6:00pmEDT (2200 UTC) from Cape Canaveral, the rocket will deliver two U.S. national security satellites into geosynchronous orbit for the @SpaceForce_DOD.

#AtlasV launching #USSF12 features a special In-Flight Power System to top off the payload batteries during the long ascent to orbit, and ULA electrical integration lead Jordan Gleba has worked to ensure it functions as designed.

LAUNCH ALERT: Launch Weather Officer Jessica Williams from the 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 70 percent chance of acceptable weather for the #AtlasV to launch the @SpaceForceDOD@USSF_SSC#USSF12 mission on Thursday. Full details: bit.ly/av_ussf12
Shepherding the requirements to deliver two innovative national security satellites into orbit aboard the same #AtlasV rocket is the responsibility of Anna Ly, ULA's mission integration systems engineer for the #USSF12 launch.

Watch a preview video of what you can expect during the #AtlasV rocket's flight directly to geosynchronous orbit to deploy two U.S. national security satellites for @SpaceForceDOD and @USSF_SSC.
LAUNCH ALERT! We are a week away from the launch of an #AtlasV 541 to deliver two national security satellites into space in a dual-manifest launch for @SpaceForceDOD and @USSF_SSC. Liftoff is next Thursday, June 30 from Cape Canaveral. bit.ly/av_ussf12#PartnersInSpace
The launch of an Atlas V 541 rocket carrying the USSF-12 mission for the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) has been delayed due to weather impacting launch processing milestones. Launch is now planned for June 30. The launch window will be released closer to launch.
The team has wrapped wet dress rehearsal for the day. Artemis I Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said this was a "great day for our team" and she was "really proud of the team and all they've done to get us here."
Controllers reported to console for the start of Wet Dress Rehearsal. WDR serves as the final major test of the @NASA_SLS rocket for the #Artemis I mission launch. This 45.5-hour test will culminate Monday, June 20.

JPSS satellites provide crucial climate & weather data for @NOAASatellites and scientists around the world. This makes tests like the one JPSS-2 just passed with flying colors a must before launching to space.
