In a major setback for United Launch Alliance, the company's new heavy-lift Vulcan rocket carrying a batch of Amazon Leo internet satellites, malfunctioned during the climb to space Sunday, dooming the payload and throwing a costly wrench into the launch schedule of both companies.
Serious crisis in sight for the United Launch Alliance. The Vulcan launcher, which was due to return in flight this Sunday evening, failed his mission. 40 Amazon Leo satellites were lost.
