    ULA is a partnership between Lockheed and Boeing. It’s still a Boeing rocket. And that rocket had a problem scrubbing the launch.

      ULA is a whole separate entity though. It’s not part of Boeing or Lockheed directly. And even then it’s main engineering teams are former Lockheed and Rockwell people. There is very little about ULA that’s truly Boeing. And Atlas V is based off Atlas III which Lockheed made on their own before ULA became a thing in 2006.
