#cert1 — Public Fediverse posts

So, you know how #ULA didn't show any telemetry during this morning’s #Cert1 launch of #VulcanRocket?
What they did show was a telemetry driven 3D animation - this allowed me to reconstruct parts of the trajectory using photogrammetry.

@ulalaunch MISSION SUCCESS! ULA's #VulcanRocket successfully performed its #Cert1 flight test today! Thank you to the engineers, technicians and teammates across the nation who designed, built and launched this versatile new rocket. ULA success #159.

Now the question will be: how competitive can ULA actually be? Articles state that ULA has * 6 * launches planned in 2024.

Meanwhile SpaceX will launch over 100.. possibly 144.

And ULA the company is going through some challenges. Read Eric Berger’s excellent profile of ULA over at ArsTechnica: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/with-vulcans-liftoff-imminent-united-launch-alliance-flies-into-uncertain-future/

Will Boeing and Lockheed successfully sell the company? What does its future hold?

🚀 SUCCESS! 🚀

The first flight of ULA’s Vulcan Centaur lifted off early this morning, launching the first US private moon lander and a whole bunch of scientific experiments… and memorials. More info:

This was incredibly important for ULA as a company. And it’s important for us all to have more launch providers.

Congrats to all involved on this successful launch!

@ulalaunch Weather balloon data indicates high altitude winds are acceptable for #VulcanRocket today. The rocket's flight computer is being loaded with the best steering parameters based on those conditions aloft. #Cert1 @ULA Go Vulcan 🖖 🚀

And #SpaceX has been doing *amazing* work this past year... launching ** 98 ** rockets in 2023. More than any company has launched in a year! 🎉

While ULA launched... * 3 * rockets! 🤯

But as awesome as SpaceX's work is, it would be great for resilience to have competing companies that can *consistently* launch.

So I'm hoping for a successful launch! 🚀

But.. I'll be asleep at 2:18am ET 😀
So I'll look forward to learning the result in the morning!
