FUCK YEAH DELTA IV

Why do I love ULA so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. ULA isn't just the best launch provider in the country; they might just be the greatest launch provider of all time. Just imaging the Altas V riding through the skies of Earth, the wind on its fairing, the mighty RD-180 below it. As she rides through the red sky, NASA swoons at her very scent. They know how she smells; the essence of burning RP-1 smell is sold in Orlando under the name of "Space Orgasm." The very nature of ULA is mystery. Could they be playing a deeper game than even Tory Bruno realizes? The answer is yes, ULA has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever they sees fit. However, ULA is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that they does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the ULA is not one that is easily penetrated. ULA rockets are such a force of nature in this realm that nothing can truly touch them, the only thing keeping them bound to this world at all is their will to exist within the preordained boundaries understood physics. ULA is not only beyond the comprehension of us, it exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe the plume of exhaust gasses from this Delta IV, the gorgeous and rippling flames, the gallant fairing, and most importantly, its engines. Her engines, like cauldrons straight from hell, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of ULA. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. ULA is not just a launch provider, a formless collection of engineers and rockets; they are themselves the binding that holds the word together. Without ULA, Musk the Menace takes over and the entire space industry as we know it crumbles. The Mississippi would stop flowing without ULA, Kessler syndrome would take over in orbit, and the space station would fall without their fiery gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like ULA so much.

T-4 minutes and holding due to an loading-arm related alarm system.
I hope the landing will be alright :^)

this pad is aesthetic as fuck

>SpaceX has trouble with legs
>ULA has trouble with arms
rockets should go back to just using fins
Colton Price
Tory plz leave
Tyler Taylor
it's happening

>Turn the alarm system off and back on again
>It's good
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BECO, sep and second stage start

Successful payload fairing jettison approximately 20 seconds before BECO. WGS must be delicate if they waited until they were 80 miles in altitude to eject the fairing.

MECO-1. Second burn will occur after a 10 minute coast phase.
Luis Stewart
Second burn in progress. MECO-2 in < 3 minutes.
Jace Diaz
MECO-2. Nine minute coast and then spacecraft separation.

Another successful launch brought you you by America's #1 launch service provider: United Launch Alliance.

Why did they put the satellite in such an elliptical orbit?

Spacecraft Sep and end webcast.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit. It's easier for the Launch Vehicle to put the satellite into a highly elliptical orbit, which the satellite then circularizes, than for the launch vehicle to do all the work. An ultra efficient engine is ideal for circularization burns, but aren't so good for orbital insertion.
