@Starman064 Plus the lower mass reduces long term stress on the aft support structures, which helps with long term preservation! The RS-25 on display next to the orbiter is a complete real engine, though admittedly I am not familiar with its specific history for the one at KSCVC.

@Starman064 The RSMEs on the orbiters are actually really cool bits of kit! They’re older nozzles that had been decommissioned, and as the powerheads in the orbiters wouldn’t be visible, NASA elected to keep them for use on SLS, and mounted the old nozzles using a lighter adapter.

@hammen Everything you have just said is the exact same arguments made 5 years ago that ULA would be dead by 2025

@DerekdotSpace Oh, their immediate future is OK, due to Kuiper and current NSSL contracts. But with no reusability, they can't compete against multiple vehicles that are. Plus their cost plus co-owners don't want to invest more $$$ into the company. Future looking not so bright, IMHO.

A bit unexpected given past attempts to hire Tory had not bore fruit, however with Vulcan now fully on its feet and certified for NSSL it makes sense that he’d be more comfortable leaving the role behind.

We’re pleased to announce that @torybruno is joining Blue Origin as president, National Security, reporting to CEO Dave Limp. Tory will spearhead our newly formed National Security Group.

@hammen I really think people are massively ignorant of the investments made into ULA the past 4-5 years, especially from Amazon. I have seen claim after claim of death knell for ULA, but with their manifest booked solid for Vulcan they’re in an incredibly healthy position right now.

@DerekdotSpace Tory departing for Blue to work on their NSSL certification pretty much means the death knell for ULA in 4-5 years. No reusability/expensive/can't scale. Blue will take a bigger portion of US .gov contracted launch services, eventually crowding out ULA.

Hearing reports of an unidentified red object flying over Cape Canaveral tonight at incredible speed. Anyone have any eyes in the sky on this merry evening? 🎄

Some interesting developments on yesterday’s H3 failure. S2 began to lose pressure right at Payload Fairing Sep, alongside a sudden acceleration spike. It’s possible that something went wrong with either the PLF or the Payload itself that impacted the upper stage LH2 tank.

#H3ロケット8号機 打上失敗 宇宙開発利用部会 緊急会合 大事なとこだけまとめ 発生事象の発表がありました ✅第2段燃焼タイミングに大きなズレがあった ✅衛星フェアリング分離のタイミングで、大きな加速度を観測(画像データも含め確認中) ✅フェアリング分離に近いタイミングで第2段の水素タンク圧力が、急激に低下した。 ✅圧力を一定に保つための加圧弁がその後開状態となった。 ✅燃焼圧力(推力) ほぼ一定の推力を保っている予定だったが 2回目は定常燃焼にも満たなかった

About 5 minutes until the first launch attempt of HANBIT-Nano. This is the first orbital launch attempt for Innospace, as well as the first orbital launch attempt from Alcantara since VLS-1 V02 in 1999 youtube.com/live/RqGZ1mS5F…
