  3. #Starliner is expected to fly 🚀 atop the #AtlasV. #ULA ceased production of the rocket in 📆 2024. The vehicles have been allocated to customers, including the six needed for the remaining Starliner flights.

    The Starliner faces an uncertain future after that. #DeltaIV is retired and no more are available, the #Falcon9 is owned by manned launch competitor #SpaceX, and the #Vulcan Centaur has not yet been human-rated, testing #Boeing would have to pay 💰 for 🤔 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_S

  5. After the retirement of NASA's space shuttle in 2011, the Delta IV Heavy became the most powerful operational rocket in the world, with a lift capacity of nearly 29 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. Only a handful of government-developed vehicles, including NASA's Saturn V lunar rocket and Russia's Energia vehicle, had more lift capacity, Ars Technica reports:

  9. Once again, the final #DeltaIVHeavy #launch is upon us.
    The #DeltaIV has always been, in my opinion, the classiest looking EELV.

    The #Delta IV and its predecessors have made incredible contributions to #science and #spaceflight.

    A #ThorDelta launched #Echo1, the first comm #satellite. #DeltaII launched missions to #Mars and began building the #GPS system.

    The Delta family will be missed.

  10. damn the last Delta IV launch has been scrubbed so 24 hours until the next attempt #delta4 #deltaIV #ula

  12. Well shit... you know you've been in the space biz a while when a booster you were present for its first operational launch is having its final lift today. #SemperSupra #DeltaIV youtube.com/watch?v=2DajlB_jUP

  13. @spaceflight hardly an unbiased crowd l, but test Boeings SLS for #NASA Artemis is unsustainable and too expensive.

    ( could have done commercial for moon #DeltaIV did boost Orion into orbit youtu.be/UEuOpxOrA_0?si=nx16jJ )

  15. Last night's penultimate launch of a #DeltaIV (Heavy) rocket led to numerous great pictures - also of cloud effects left in the sky: help yourself to many links at skyweek.wordpress.com/2023/06/

  17. I got to see a Heavy launch -68 in in , . It was a good show. 😃

  18. En una hora @[email protected] volverá a intentar lanzar el #DeltaIV Heavy.

  19. En una hora @[email protected] volverá a intentar lanzar el #DeltaIV Heavy.

  20. 12 horas para el lanzamiento de la bestia #DeltaIV Heavy de @[email protected].

  22. A #photograph of the sun-lit #exhaust #cloud of the #ULA #DeltaIV #rocket.
    The #Sun is just below the horizon from the perspective of the Earth’s surface, but higher up, the Sun is still visible, so sometimes it lights up exhaust clouds or #contrails and creates stunning colors, and it changes shape as the winds blow it around.
    Lately these have come to be known as #LaunchJellyfish.

  23. To continue our #introduction, Fox (the #photographer) studied #physics, and covered #spacescience and the work and #launches from #KennedySpaceCenter/#KSC and #CapeCanaveral/#CCAFS.
    He covered the end of the #SpaceShuttle Era, including the finishing work on the #Orbiters to get them ready for display, and flying #Discovery and #Endeavour off. #Atlantis remains at the KSC Visitor's Complex Atlantis Museum.
    He also covered a number of #EvolvedExpendableLaunchVehicle/#EELV launches for #NASA :nasa: , #NOAA, the #DOD, and the #NRO. Fox covered a variety of #UnitedLaunchAlliance #AtlasV and #DeltaIV #rockets, as well as the beginning of the #Falcon9's career.
    Shooting the Shuttle was the best, though.
