[b]Vulcan Flight Readiness Firing Success[/b] United Launch Alliance successfully conducted a booster engine flight readiness firing (FRF) today (June 7) at Space Launch Complex (SLC)-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The engine start sequence began at T-4.88 seconds, the engines throttled up to the target level for two seconds and then powered down. The entire FRF lasted for six seconds. We are more than 98% complete with the Vulcan qualification program, with the remaining items associated with the final Centaur V testing. The team is reviewing the data from the systems involved in today’s test and, in parallel, continue with the Centaur V test stand anomaly investigation. Pending the data review and the investigation results, we will develop a plan for launch. Testing is an integral part of our launch vehicle development program, and we will fly when we believe it is safe to launch.
