Aok

A nice bullseye insertion for Vulcan’s entry into service with SF106

The trick to this shot is holding on to the lightning tower really, really tight. #SF106

Vulcan is ready. Let’s go to space.

Here’s a fun Timelapse of the roll. USSF106

Here’s a shot from the interior of the new VIF. This is the OVI Cell (Off Vehicle Integration). Structure is complete. Now installing the hydrazine, pneumatic and electrical systems.

You guys liked the launch head pic so much, here’s a cool shot inside the VLP mast of a couple of skilled technicians working on the interior installations, which are now at 81% complete.

Cool pic of all 4 launch heads installed on the second Vulcan mobile launch platform in VIF-A at the Cape.

Shiny new infrastructure at SLC-3, VSFB California. Heading towards being able to start launching Vulcan from the west coast soon.

Up, up, and away…

Fun conversation with Morgan Brennan, with very insightful questions (as usual) www.cnbc.com/2023/04/13/m...

Is it Christmas already in Florida? Or is is the last girder tree topping on VIF-A at the Cape?

Well done K-12 students, ULA and BAE interns!

You bet. Here’s Indigo, Obi Wan, Mr. Easy, and Pretty Girl

Yup. Full scale. Somewhat more impressive…. ;)

Did a little subscale Vulcan Testing last weekend. Thanks for the help Estes Rockets!

Wahoo. The Wilson lock has been repaired and is open again. Rocketship came through successfully and is home in Decatur

Busy day at the Cape

Cool shot of the new OVI (off vehicle integration) cell in the VIF-A

Vulcan’s second mobile launch platform is “flying” in another launch head

Another 27 Bullseyes…

Sometimes it’s hard to hold the camera steady. (turn up the volume)

Bird’s eye view of Kuiper Atlas KA02 looking down from one of the lightning towers. (Turn up the volume)

Found him! www.instagram.com/p/DLQcef-Si_L/

Let us know if you see our missing ULA cameraman. This was the last photo we found on the roll… #Kuiper2 @ProjectKuiper (Just kidding)

ULA’s Atlas V launches its second ever operational Kuiper flight earlier this morning, taking 27 Kuiper satellites to LEO. 📸: for Launch Heaven

Bird is away. All systems nominal

All GO for terminal count

Count continues to be quiet. L-10

Tanking is underway

Cryo tanking poll complete. All go

Team is on console. Vehicle is powered. LWO has given a 15% weather POV. Mighty Atlas is champing at the bit.

Mighty Atlas out for a stroll and back on the pad. Ps this is a time-lapse. IRL, the 2.5M pound Mobile Launch Platform travels at a blistering 3 mph or so.

Atlas is on the pad and hard down

KA02 issue is resolved. Rolling back to the pad. Monday launch. See you in space…

Hmmm. I wonder what’s going on at the ranch today?

In case you missed it youtu.be/K2XFxZO6iLo?...

Possible issue with a GN2 purge line that cannot be resolved inside the count. We will need to stand down for today. We’ll sort it and be back.

Working a temperature measurement warmer than previous family

Meanwhile, "the bruiser" is almost ready to go.... picture source: ULA on the other site

Atlas is in the Bruiser configuration, standing proud and a beautiful blue sky. Ground winds are well under the limits.

Centaur LOX at 97%. Booster LOX proceeding nominally

Cryo underway. Count remains routine
