Vulcan rocket 3D model

United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, merging their Atlas and Delta heritage into a single new vehicle family for EELV/NSSLP Phase 2. ULA won one of two contracts for phase 2 of the National Security Space Launch Program, to be performed by Vulcan with Atlas V available as a backup in case of delays. Vulcan is a 2.5-stage launch vehicle, with a core stage powered by two BE-4 methane-oxygen engines, an evolved Centaur second stage, and up to 6 optional GEM-63XL solid boosters. The Centaur V upper stage is uniquely capable of dozens of restarts and multiple months of on-orbit operations, as well as refueling

Contains Vulcan core stage, Vulcan Heavy side boosters, GEM-63XL strap-on SRBs, Centaur V, and 5.4 and 7 meter diameter payload fairings, and Dual Spacecraft System adapter. Core stage includes flame livery matching the first flight vehicle. All materials and textures are packed in the .blend file
