Observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by the James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA–Korea SPHEREx mission were finalized in February 2026.
Spectroscopic analysis of 3I/ATLAS showed carbon dioxide enrichment nearly eight times higher than water ice levels.
Atlas Cup designs its competitions to generate datasets on spacecraft and component performance through direct head-to-head competition.
Philip Hover-Smoot is the CEO of Atlas Cup.
The inaugural Atlas Cup championship races are planned for Low Earth Orbit in 2028.
The ATLAS program is focused on solid fuel ramjet propulsion.
The flight test campaign supports GE Aerospace's Atmospheric Test of Launched Air-breathing System (ATLAS) program.
The ATLAS flight test vehicle achieved supersonic speeds to support the advancement of solid fuel ramjet propulsion technology.
The ATLAS campaign reflects a demand for faster, more flexible access to flight testing outside of traditional government ranges.
The ATLAS program is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense under Title III of the Defense Production Act.
The ATLAS campaign included three successful supersonic captive carry flights from Kennedy Space Center using a Starfighters F-104 aircraft.
ULA once dominated military launch with Atlas and Delta rockets.
3I/ATLAS developed a genuine anti-tail, a short tail directed toward the Sun.
Astronomers planned to continue tracking 3I/ATLAS through 2026 to learn more about its composition.
NASA and the European Space Agency used space probes with better viewing geometry to observe 3I/ATLAS during its solar conjunction in late 2025.
Researchers confirmed that nine candidate signals flagged during observations of the comet 3I/ATLAS were identified as terrestrial radio interference.
United Launch Alliance was formed in 2006 as a 50-50 joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin that combined Boeing’s Delta programs and Lockheed Martin’s Atlas programs.
At the time ULA was formed, the Delta and Atlas rockets were the only U.S. rockets capable of launching heavy Department of Defense satellites.
United Launch Alliance undertook a program to design an entirely American-made rocket to replace Atlas and Delta.
United Launch Alliance decided to retire both the Atlas and Delta rockets and replace them with the Vulcan rocket.
