  1. #SpaceX launched 165 #Falcon9 missions in 2025. Of those, 122 - or ~74% - were dedicated #Starlink launches.

    “We thought we had the launch thing solved, but it’s actually now a bit of a pain in the butt to get manifested on SpaceX. You have to go through launch integrators. They buy up all capacity”

  2. Des gens chez #FreeMobile avec un smartphone 4G uniquement qui n'auraient plus d'#IPv6 depuis quelques temps ?

    Je contourne actuellement le problème avec mon VPN mais c'est un peu casse-pieds

    Je précise que mon ordiphone me donne bien de la connectivité IPv6, avec une adresse #ULA

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    An investigation into the first incident found a manufacturing defect was responsible for the loss of the booster’s exhaust nozzle shortly after liftoff. Officials have not announced the results of the probe into the second booster failure, but it appeared to be similar to the first incident

  9. 📆 2016 Tobey, vice president of #engineering, recruited to address the issue of cost competitiveness at #ULA : #SpaceX was able to offer launch capabilities for as little as one-third 📉 the price of what ULA could.

    #Bruno was trying to make ULA more #competitive and #innovative.

    Tobey resigned from his position at #ULA arstechnica.com/science/2016/0

  10. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    Ironically, #ULA held a #US launch #monopoly earlier this century before #SpaceX came along and disrupted its business with lower-cost, more frequent access to space.

    What #Bridenstine did not say on social media is that his consulting firm, The Artemis Group, netted $990,000 💰 from #ULA in 2025

    #lobbying

  11. August 7, 2025 #Bruno said he estimated 2025 would come in “about half” of the 2024 projection, or about 10 launches spacenews.com/ula-forecasts-ni

  12. For the second time, incredibly lucky that the rocket was able to complete its mission despite a solid rocket motor failure. Absolute respect for the adaptability and responsiveness of the rocket's guidance and control technology. But these boosters... in their current form, are truly dangerously unreliable.

    ""Early during flight, the team observed a significant performance anomaly on one of the four solid rocket motors. Despite the observation, the Vulcan booster and Centaur performed nominally and delivered the spacecraft directly to geosynchronous orbit,’"

    One of the four #SRBs on ULA's #Vulcan rocket experienced an anomaly during the launch this morning, but the payload reached its GEO destination nonetheless. #ULA statement:

  15. This is really not okay. We have a Canadians scheduled to fly on Starliner on Vulcan including Joshua Kutryk and Shawna Pandya. Both growing up within 50km of me.

    I really can't see Starliner launching again.

    #space #iss #starliner #ula #vulcan

  16. It appears that ULA VC4S USSF-87 was again subject to more solid rocket motor issues.

    All indications is that this SRB expelled its nozzle, notably by the direction the exhaust plume ended up going from this booster.

    All reports indicate the payload arrived at its destination, but it really seems like ULA is starting to lose industry confidence, including having lost Tory Bruno to Blue Origin.

    A United Launch Alliance rocket launches a mission for the U.S. Space Force from Cape Canaveral, Florida. #USSF87 #space #ula #usspaceforce #capecanaveral #spacemission #rocketlaunch #florida #science #live #Reuters #News Keep up with the latest news from around the world:

  18. When #Amazon announced its launch procurement in 2022, it notably bypassed SpaceX in favor of #NewGlenn, #Ariane 6 and #ULA’s #Vulcan, even though none of those vehicles had flown at the time. In late 2025, Amazon #Leo added to its already historic purchase of launch capacity by securing 10 additional #Falcon9 launches from #SpaceX spacenews.com/amazon-buys-10-m

  19. #NewGlenn is giving the #Falcon9 and especially the #FalconHeavy a run for its money. #Starship's low launch costs, high cadence, and massive payload bay could turn the industry on its head spaceinsider.tech/2025/01/10/n

    Until Starship begins commercial operations, New Glenn’s 7-m-diameter 📏 fairing may be the best option for customers whose spacecraft don’t fit in the roughly 5 m fairings of Falcons and #ULA’s #Vulcan, or to launch more spacecraft at a time aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/feat

  20. "Blue Origin hires United Launch Alliance CEO Tory Bruno to head its national security group" by GeekWire (Seattle tech news) / @alanboyle - Matter-of-fact reporting on Bruno's departure doesn't yet explain what this means for #ULA. Beyond current news articles, this appears to be good news for #BlueOrigin. But BO poaching ULA's CEO casts doubt on BO's bid to acquire ULA. geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin- #NewSpace #space #business

  21. One of Blue Origin's best-known collaborators has now joined Jeff Bezos' #space venture to head the national security side of its business, in a move that's likely to sharpen competition with #SpaceX. geekwire.com/2025/blue-origin- #BlueOrigin #ULA #ToryBruno
