During an appearance on a podcast with Aviation Week, ULA chief Tory Bruno acknowledged the company’s Vulcan rocket will not debut until 2022. The first launch will carry the Peregrine lunar lander for Astrobotic, Bruno said, and the spacecraft will not be ready for this year. As for the rocket, it still has a chance to be ready for flight in 2021, but Bruno said pretty much everything would have to go right for that to happen.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)
