Main Engine Cut OffVulcan Aerospace Rebrands as Stratolaunch
Alan Boyle, for GeekWire:
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s space venture is rebranding itself and updating its website as it prepares to begin flight tests of the world’s biggest airplane. The venture was launched in 2011 as Stratolaunch Systems, but over time it morphed into Vulcan Aerospace, with Stratolaunch Systems as a subsidiary. Now it’s officially known as Stratolaunch, period.
Much cleaner structure—and a better name—for a solution I still don’t believe in much at all.
Interestingly, the rebrand frees up the “Vulcan” name in the aerospace field, at a time when there have been rumors of a potential rebrand for ULA.
