United Launch Alliance said on Nov. 4, 2026 that it agreed with Beyond Gravity USA to take over production, sustaining engineering, and development of Vulcan payload fairings and composite structures. Closing is expected before the end of 2026, and the purchase price was not stated. More than 300 Alabama-based Beyond Gravity employees will be offered ULA jobs. Beyond Gravity has leased 400,000 square feet inside ULA's Decatur factory since 2017. ULA said the first fairing it produces is scheduled to fly in 2027.
