United Launch Alliance Vulcan Rocket is Ready
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is preparing for a landmark launch. The certified Vulcan rocket will soon perform its first U.S. national security mission, an intricate marathon lasting over seven hours to deliver two satellites more than 22,000 miles (35,000 km) above Earth. ULA will use the high-energy capabilities of the Space Force certified Vulcan USSF-106 rocket to carry two U.S. national security satellite missions directly into geosynchronous orbit. The launch is scheduled to take place from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida later this month.
SPIN Scooter Program Expands Parameters
A SPIN scooter program launched last year in the area of Fiddler’s Green is expanding its parameters to now include 50 scooters and additional residential, offices and retail north of Arapahoe Road and east of Quebec Street. The program is a collaborative effort between the City of Centennial, the City of Greenwood Village, the Greenwood Consolidated Metropolitan District (GCMD) and Denver South. Visit SPIN to learn more and download the app to go for a ride.
