Astrobotic's Peregrine lander, under NASA's CLPS initiative, successfully launched on ULA's Vulcan rocket, signaling the future of ULA's rocket technology. The mission aims to land on the Moon and is a significant milestone for both ULA and Astrobotic. ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket, a 50-50 joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, is set to replace Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy with the Vulcan Centaur, competing with SpaceX. The next certification launch is scheduled for April, featuring Sierra Space's Dream Chaser spaceplane.
