You can kind of think of ULA as the stodgy uncle to Elon Musk's SpaceX.
The joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin is one of the most consistent companies in the rocket launching game.

This launch was the Atlas V's 69th mission in total, and ULA's first of 2017. The company is expected to launch 11 rockets this year.
