#ULA Business Risks

โ€ข Reusability: #Vulcan is not reusable ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ - although designs are underway to eject its #BE4 engines post-launch and recover them via an inflatable heat shield and parachute.
โ€ข Competition: Vulcan competes with #SpaceXโ€™s #Falcon9
โ€ข ULAโ€™s profitability has seen a decline ๐Ÿ“‰ from a peak of ~$650M ๐Ÿ’ฐ in 2016 to ~$80M ๐Ÿ’ต in 2023 primarily due to the Vulcan transition and share loss to SpaceX

๐Ÿ“† Nov 15, 2023 #ULA is seeking to scale up production of the #Vulcan rocket to reach a cadence of two launches ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€ a month by the end of ๐Ÿ“† 2025. That seems rather ambitious and might be asking a lot of suppliers, including engine manufacturer #BlueOrigin. arstechnica.com/space/2023/11/
