CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- United Launch Alliance recently honored three suppliers with a 2020 Small Business Excellence award for their support of the Vulcan Centaur program. The Vulcan Centaur is ULA's next-generation rocket that will provide higher performance and greater affordability while continuing to deliver reliability and precision. This rocket will transform the future of space launch and will meet the important demands of the United States Space Force and U.S. national security satellite launches.

"ULA places a strong emphasis on the value and contribution of small business," said Tory Bruno, ULA's president and CEO. "Small businesses are the engine of our nation's economy and ULA is proud to recognize these suppliers who have demonstrated outstanding effort this year."

S-Bond Technologies is a materials technology company based in Harleysville, Penn., that provides bonding solutions for a broad range of materials. S-Bond played an integral role in maintaining the very demanding schedule of the Vulcan Soldered Transition Ring qualification. ULA required a lot of supplier involvement to address constantly evolving requirements, which S-Bond was able to provide. As this effort transitions from a qualification state to a recurring state S-Bond has maintained a very close level of communication with ULA engineering and supply chain to ensure our requirements are met and our schedule is maintained.
