@NASASpaceflightULA's Vulcan VC6L is rolling to SLC-41 ahead of Friday's launch of Amazon Leo (LV-01). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm8wRjD3xVA

@AlmaCap114204ULA's Vulcan returns to flight today after a 9-month grounding. LV-01: 40 Amazon Leo sats, 17:54 UTC from SLC-41. This is quite an exciting flight for a number of reasons: > Six GEM 63XL boosters (VC6, max config), the same SRB family behind the nozzle failures in Oct '24 and Feb '26. > Also the new LEO-optimised Centaur V: shorter stage, c.35k lb less propellant than the standard 120K, better thrust to weight, so more mass to LEO. > Cadence: Amazon funded a second vertical integration facility ("VIF") and mobile launch platform, so ULA can process two Vulcans in parallel. LV-02 is already stacking in VIF-G, "within weeks" of a nominal LV-01. LV-03 is possible before year-end 2027. For context, ULA has guided 16–18 Vulcans in 2026. It'll do only do 2–3 if todays launch is successful If today is successful than this would be an exciting development for $ASTS, noting that Vulcan can fit 5 Bluebirds. Assuming the 2026 target of 16-18 is met in 2027 I wouldn't be surprised to see 3-4 ULA launches via DPAS in Q2/Q3 giving us 15 to 20 more Bluebirds. TLDR: Todays Vulcan launch can materially de-risk ASTS launch schedule.@NASASpaceflightULA's Vulcan VC6L is rolling to SLC-41 ahead of Friday's launch of Amazon Leo (LV-01). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm8wRjD3xVA@Nextlaunch📢：264th UP. 🗓：Friday ⏰：1754 UTC / 12:54 EST / 2:54 JST 🚀：Vulcan Centaur VC6L 📦：🦁🔨🪵🛢️🛰️1⃣6⃣ 🏳️：🇺🇸 🚏：LEO 📡： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM5A1ZO9oh8 ℹ： https://www.ulalaunch.com/missions/next-launch/vulcan-leo-1@AlmaCap114204ULA's Vulcan returns to flight today after a 9-month grounding.
