Launch of the week: the first Vulcan ever with six boosters flies Friday. ULA’s Vulcan has flown four times, with two or four solid boosters. On Friday, Nov 13 at 12:54 PM ET it lifts off from Cape Canaveral with six, carrying 45 Amazon Leo satellites. Why it matters: Amazon Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, is Amazon’s satellite internet network, with more than 3,000 satellites planned to bring fast internet to places cables don’t reach. Amazon has booked 38 Vulcan launches to build it. Follow it live on our globe: mach9.company. At T-0 the rocket flies there in real time. Photos: NASA/Kim Shiflett and NASA/Cory S.
