Depite the challenges presented by the pandemic during the majority of 2020, United Launch Alliance's (ULA) biggest new project, the launch of the Vulcan Centaur rocket, is still on track for 2021.
President and CEO Tory Bruno confirmed the news during an end of the year conference call on Thursday.
He said production is ongoing at the manufacturing facility in Decatur.
"Decatur is hopping! We have 31 rocket stages in flow right now. So, it is a very busy rocket factory with all of the configurations in flow at once," Bruno said.
