  1. "With Vulcan’s certification, Space Force is no longer solely reliant on SpaceX" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - US Space Force approves United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan rocket for carrying #military payloads after two successful orbital test launches. There was extra paperwork due to a solid rocket nozzle failure on cert flight 2. Though that launch succeeded anyway by running the 2nd stage longer. arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/ #ULA #VulcanCentaur #space #business

  9. New audio: TDYR 415 - Why ULA's Vulcan Centaur Launch Was So Important - soundcloud.com/danyork/tdyr-41

    In this episode, I discussed why the launch of ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket on January 8 was so important from a resiliency point of view as we look to do so much more in space.

    They have a long way to go to even begin to catch up with the truly amazing launch work that #SpaceX is doing... but at least it is a start.

  11. "The Vulcan Centaur is the first rocket developed by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. […] The first stage, Vulcan, is powered by engines developed by Blue Origin. The second stage, Centaur, is the latest revamp of a design that has been flying since the days of Apollo."

  13. @marcushouse Well, we finally know the mystery around #SpaceX Starship's IFT 2 explosion! 🤯
    Along with that, updated timelines on Flight Test 3, & #VulcanCentaur /#Peregrine.

    Can we just slow down the news cycle a little!? I'm exhausted. 😆

  15. "ULA’s Vulcan rocket launches as the newest challenger to SpaceX" by @CNBC / @michaelsheetz - United Launch Alliance #ULA #VulcanCentaur maiden launch successful. ULA needed Vulcan to work, pinning its future on a replacement for Atlas & Delta. cnbc.com/2024/01/08/ula-vulcan #NewSpace

  17. Grote problemen voor de Peregrine maanlander

    De Peregrine Mooon Lander van Astrobotic werd vanochtend met behulp van de hagelnieuwe Vulcan Centaur-raket van United Launch Alliance in een elliptische baan om de Aarde gelanceerd.

    A historic day at Cape Canaveral saw the test flight of a landmark launch. It didn't take place at SpaceX facilities, but at United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Space Launch Complex-41, where the veteran astronaut Atlas V rocket is set to take off. Instead, it was a Vulcan Centaur that launched on January 8th at 7:18 UTC, right at the start of its launch window, to com

  19. 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: arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/

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

  21. 🚀 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:

    space.com/ula-vulcan-centaur-f

    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!

  23. 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!

  25. Note that if ULA is NOT able to launch in 5 hours, they do have backup time slots available January 9, 10, and 11, but the launch windows are MUCH smaller.

    Note also that ULA has been developing the Vulcan Centaur rocket since... *2014*.

    And its first launch was supposed to be in 2019... then later... and later.. and later... and now... tonight!

    Meanwhile, #SpaceX has been doing their amazing work!

  27. In about 5 hours at 07:18 UTC (2:18am ET, where I live), an extremely important rocket launch will hopefully happen.

    United Launch Alliance (ULA) is planning to launch their new #VulcanCentaur rocket on its first mission. You can learn more and watch at: space.com/vulcan-centaur-launc

    Back in November, I wrote about how right now we are so dependent on SpaceX for launches, and how it would be great to have competition:

    We'll see what happens! 🚀
