The first crewed flight of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner is on track for tonight. Liftoff of the Atlas 5 carrying the Starliner on the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission is scheduled for 10:34 p.m. Eastern. Officials said they were not dealing with any major technical issues and the weather forecast was favorable. The CFT mission will be the first time Starliner has carried astronauts, as NASA's Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will fly the spacecraft to the International Space Station in a final test before certifying the vehicle for operational missions.

A United #Launch Alliance #Atlas V #rocket in its 401 configuration with a 4 meter fairing, no solid #rocket boosters, and one upper stage engine, is lifting a classified #payload for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The #AtlasV has already ascended above Cape Canaveral and is about to make its turn to begin climbing to #orbit.

An outdoor, daytime photograph of a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket ascending against the light blue sky. The rocket itself has lost much of the frost on its first stage and its original copper color can be seen below the white ice caused by the cryogenic propellants. The rocket has a pointed noise, a wider cylinder, then a narrower cylinder until the bottom of the rocket and the beginning of the firey exhaust is seen.

An outdoor, daytime photograph of a rocket flying in the sky with a trail of flame and condensation behind. The rocket’s nose is a sharply-pointed cone that joins to a cylinder, then reducing in diameter again and remaining the same the rest of the way. The top is white while the bottom is mostly copper-colored. The sky behind the rocket is cloudless and blue.

Amazon revises Project Kuiper satellite plans … again
Amazon’s plans to launch the first prototype satellites for its Project Kuiper broadband internet constellation have changed for the second time in a year — and once again, rocket development snags are the reason.

The revised plans call for Kuiper

After an #Antares rocket exploded shortly after lightoff, Orbital-ATK purchased launch services from #ULA for their cargo #spacecraft, and then another.
This mission, OA-7, was the first flight of the improved Cygnus. Each vehicle is named, and the #OA7 mission was named “SS John Glenn.”

#NASA’s #MSL #Curiosity #rover was sent to #Mars aboard a #ULA #Atlas V #rocket in its 541 configuration. This meant that the rocket flew with a 5 meter diameter fairing, 4 solid rocket boosters, and a single engine on its #Centaur upper stage.
In the 5 meter fairing version, the Centaur is encapsulated in the payload fairing along with the payload.
Painted on the fairing are the logos for the #AtlasProgram and the United Launch Alliance, as well as the #US flag and the serial number, AV-028.

@heronfoxphoto is it true, each heat shield tile are hand made by a NASA artist and cost like $10,000, not the way to go #NASA (measured in raw $, a #Atlas5 rocket launch was cheaper, than a #Spaceshuttle launch, but it repaired #Hubble so will shut up :D

Of course, my connectivity comes back after lift off. But holy crap. I’ve never been able to see the payload fairing separation from a Florida launch before! UNREAL. #Atlas5 #EHF5 #ULApic.twitter.com/MMEgce7XTu twitter.com/ChrisG_NSF/status/ Published at Thu, 08 Aug 2019 11:22:55 +0100
