Bruno trumpets transformation of ULA after Vulcan launch

ULA CEO Tory Bruno says first flight of Vulcan Centaur rocket went exceedingly well.

No issues reported during the countdown or after liftoff, he says.

He credited that to ULA ’s approach to designing the rocket.

Bruno did not address a potential sale of ULA in his remarks at the SpaceCom conference.

Vulcan 's largest customer for ULA is Amazon ’s Project Kuiper , a LEO constellation, having acquired 38 launches that account for about half of the current backlog of more than 70 Vulcans.

“You’re not healthy if you only support the government,” Bruno said.
