Vulcan

MAJOR congratulations to the @ulalaunch team who successfully launched the first ever #VulcanRocket this morning! We can't wait to see more of these epic rockets in action. 🚀

RIP my boy

This is good news but a failure in the propulsion system would certainly be suboptimal

Quick look went well. Launched on the open of the window. Perfectly nominal mission. Dead on bullseye orbital insertion. For a minute there I thought I was in an Atlas mission…. #VulcanRocket

@torybruno @ulalaunch Thank you 🙏

@ValiantVulcan @ulalaunch Ok

MISSION SUCCESS! ULA's #VulcanRocket successfully performed its #Cert1 flight test today! Thank you to the engineers, technicians and teammates across the nation who designed, built and launched this versatile new rocket. ULA success #159. newsroom.ulalaunch.com/releases/unite…

@dododigital I get the coolest payloads

YOU'RE NEXT 🫵

Ignition! The Centaur V's two RL10C-1-1A engines have ignited again to climb from its initial parking orbit into a trans-lunar injection orbit for the Moon-bound Peregrine lander. bit.ly/vulcan_cert1

Goin so well but also LMAO at this cute little toaster getting yeeted

@vulcan_centaur Oh?

I AM GOING!

@wenorbit YES SIR

Yes.

Congratulations to the engineers at Blue Origin for the successful debut of the BE-4 engine!

@DJSnM Don’t mess with the best 😤

So, Vulcan is the first methane fueled rocket to reach orbit on its first attempt, and the first to reach orbit from the US.

The first main engine cutoff, or MECO-1, is confirmed for the Centaur V upper stage. #VulcanRocket has reached a preliminary Earth orbit where it will coast above the globe for 28 minutes before the burn to achieve a trans-lunar injection orbit begins. bit.ly/vulcan_cert1

I’m hearing reports that we have never been more back
