ULA President and CEO Tory Bruno gives an overview of the unique Atlas V 511 rocket, aka "Big Slider" that will launch USSF-8 for the U.S. Space Force. This mission will be the one and only mission to fly on this variation and he explains how this unique configuration will provide just the right amount of thrust to deliver the twin spacecraft directly to near-geosynchronous orbit.
