Há um motivo secreto pelo qual a Força Espacial está atrasando o próximo lançamento do Atlas V
The Space Force is looking for responsive launch. This week, they’re the unresponsive ones.
The Space Force is Delaying the Next Atlas V Launch: What’s Going On?
Last week, the first operational satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper broadband network were minutes from launch at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. These satellites are part of a plan to deploy over 3,200 satellites to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink internet network. However, the launch was delayed due to bad weather, which is not uncommon in the launch industry. What was unusual was the decision to postpone the launch for more than 24 hours, leaving many wondering why.
ULA, the company responsible for the launch, did not disclose any technical issues with the rocket and did not reschedule the launch for the following week. SpaceX also experienced delays with their Starlink satellites, causing further confusion in the scheduling of launches from Cape Canaveral. This situation has raised questions about the Space Force’s management of launch schedules and the impact on commercial satellite operators.
As uncertainties linger regarding the next launch attempts for both ULA and SpaceX, the industry is left wondering about the reasons behind the delays and the potential implications for future missions from the Eastern Range.
Company/App Summary:
