The US Air Force is imposing financial penalties on United Launch Alliance over delays in two military satellite launches this year. Although declined to disclose the amount of the “postponement fees,”, the Air Force said they are “assessed based on a variety of factors, including the duration of the schedule slip.” More importantly, they are in accordance with the terms” of the contract between two parties.
According to the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 2 contract, ULA initially assigned USSF 51 and USSF 106 scheduled for launch in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, respectively.
However, ultimately, the USSF 51 mission moved off of Vulcan and onto an Atlas 5 rocket. It is scheduled no earlier than June 2024. The USSF 106 mission remains manifested on a Vulcan as that rocket's first national security mission, but its launch date is uncertain.

In addition to those missions, there are two Vulcan missions planned to launch in 2024. The alliance’s first “national security space launch” was supposed to be of a new navigation satellite in January. Instead, “due to the delays, we have worked with ULA” to launch in October, the Air Force said. The launch of a seventh new GPS 3 satellite slated for June was rescheduled for January 2025.
