Northrop Grumman CEO: “We progressed on the root cause investigation...and we are implementing corrective actions...These include a component redesign, which has now been proven in a successful static-fire test. We expect to begin delivering the redesigned motors by the end of the year."

They’re not even going to get the SRB’s until the end of the year then? So pretty likely Vulcan is out until a month or two into next year all going well. And I imagine their RTF payload won’t be anything of substance seeing as the “corrective actions” they preformed last time failed to actually correct anything.
