Atlas V is getting ready -- for the ninth time -- to deliver for Amazon!
From launching the early Protoflight test spacecraft to the first batches of production satellites, United Launch Alliance continues to be a trusted partner in helping the Amazon Leo constellation connect the world.
Today, we began the launch campaign for the next mission that will launch an additional 29 satellites in July!

A Falcon 9 rocket exploded on a launch pad as part of a static fire test in Florida ten years ago. What can Blue Origin learn from this?

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
@_abbie_watson_ Also forgot to add that’s it’s critical you preserve any evidence that could inform root cause of the failure. Which means you can’t just throw everything in the trash. A piece of hardware in the rubble may hold the key to what happened.
