Gov. Bill Ritter today congratulated Colorado-based United Launch Alliance for securing four NASA rocket launch missions between 2011 and 2014.
"United Launch Alliance is leading Colorado forward as we establish a knowledge-based economy founded on industries of the future like aerospace," Gov. Ritter said. "These science and communications missions, which will fly aboard ULA's Atlas V rocket, demonstrate why Colorado has the second-largest aerospace economy in the country. Congratulations to ULA on being awarded these missions by NASA. Colorado is proud to be the home of United Launch Alliance."
