It is noted that after a series of delays, the "Cert-2" mission launched from the spaceport in Florida at 14:25 Kyiv time.

In total, Vulcan Centaur's second stage performed two lengthy fuel burn processes, as and was scheduled.
The second part ended about 35 minutes after the launch of the launch vehicle itself. After that, the mission was officially completed.
Currently, the new launch vehicle is in the process of obtaining the necessary certification for its use in US national security missions.
