Das einzig gute für BO ist, das man ihnen nicht vorwerfen kann, dass ULA mit Raptoren von SX besser dran gewesen wäre

Coming up next issue @AviationWeek: @ulalaunch modifies plan for Vulcan rocket BE-4 recovery--drops helicopter, will let engines, surrounded by inflatable aeroshell decelerator, splash down in ocean. "It turns out the decelerator makes an excellent raft,” says @torybruno.— Irene Klotz (@Free_Space) July 18, 2022

What an exciting day for #VulcanRocket! Now that the booster is on #ULARocketShip, Centaur V will be transported next! See more photos from today’s activities: https://t.co/NJqYKC7etk pic.twitter.com/pKqwVj1uJP— ULA (@ulalaunch) January 10, 2023

#VulcanRocket combines the best of today's #AtlasV and #DeltaIVHeavy with the latest technology advancements to produce a single launch system that provides higher performance and greater affordability while continuing to deliver ULA's unmatched reliability and precision. pic.twitter.com/3YIGOwP1Sq— ULA (@ulalaunch) January 25, 2023

“UFO” was a good guess, but this is actually the revolutionary LOFTID inflatable hypersonic heat shield demo. (No, the outboard skiff is not a new ultra low cost commercial recovery concept. We’ll stick with the ship and crane conops)… ;) pic.twitter.com/XGff2e3lws— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) April 17, 2023

Good #VulcanRocket Flight Tanking Tests last Friday & Saturday. Will need to adjust a handful of parameters and set points for a reliable FRF count. (Which is is the purpose of this run). Rolling back to the VIF today to work on that. FRF in a few days or so.— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) May 15, 2023

Meanwhile, at SLC-41: #ULA is prepping to roll the inaugural #VulcanCentaur to the pad in preparation for its Flight Readiness Firing.This will see the two BE-4 main engines burn for about six seconds, to gather data on engine performance. https://t.co/lqAMgYXfd7— Tyler Gray (@TylerG1998) May 22, 2023

This week. Rolled to the pad today. A neighboring pad is conducting energetic ops tomorrow and maybe the next day. So, after its clear.— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) May 22, 2023

Test-Zündung soll heute um Mitternacht bei uns, 00:00MESZ ( 06:00 p.m. EST) stattfinden, ...
Wie lange soll der Test dauern? Geht der über die ganze nominale Flugbrenndauer?
Standing down for today. We test the BE4 ignition system during the count. Timing and response doesn’t look right. Need to understand it.— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) May 25, 2023

We will be rolling the rocket back to the Vertical Integration Facility to gain access to the booster ignition system. The team will continue to review data and determine when #VulcanRocket can roll back to the pad to conduct the flight readiness firing.— ULA (@ulalaunch) May 25, 2023

The FRF will target about 60% power and last around 6 seconds. Short for a flight, but long for sitting on a pad. In a flight, we often throttle to limit G’s as the bird gets lighter and to ease through maxQ— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) May 25, 2023

A few seconds, less than full power (I like my pad the way it is)— Tory Bruno (@torybruno) May 24, 2023

A big congrats to our partner @ULALaunch on #VulcanRocket's Flight Readiness Firing test. We’re proud to be part of this milestone. Did you know that each BE-4 engine provides 550,000 pounds of thrust at 100% power level? #CountdowntoVulcan https://t.co/spoT8mFXlq— Blue Origin (@blueorigin) June 8, 2023
