    Fantastic work Delta IV Team. Sad to see this might be the last launch from SLC-6. I was fortunate to be employed to work on that complex in the early 80's when it was configured for Space Shuttle launches. Hope they reconfigure it again for future launches.

    I worked on the project to build the SLC-6 Shuttle Launch Facility in the 1980’s at Vandenburg AFB. It was ready fo the next Shuttle Launch, then the project was scrapped. It was disappointing to see all that work go to waste. I went into the launch control center three times. First time with all the equipment installed, the next time everything was covered with plastic tarps, and the third time I went inside the Launch Control center all the consoles were bare and all the equipment was removed.

It was were the top secret military shuttle launches would be taking place. When the Challenger exploded it put everything on hold and the SLC-6 as a shuttle launch site was a casualty due in part to many of the new launch requirements that were only going to be put in place at Kennedy Space Center. The cost to retro fit SLC-6 to accomodate all the new shuttle requirements was not feasible.

    I am sure the majority of people do not realize that the Delta IV as well as the Atlas V were both developed under the USAF Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Program. EELV was a result of the total failure of two joint USAF/NASA programs to develop a next generation space booster. NASA wanted to make the program include a new manned vehicle, which is rather like buying a new pickup truck so you can haul your big screen TV home and then including the cost of the TV in the price of the truck, resulting in a highly costly and overly complex program. The Air Force cancelled its funding for both such efforts to spend the money on the F-22.
    The conclusion was to have the USAF strike out on its own to develop a new "evolved" ELV that would not use new engine technology. NASA would develop a new reusable vehicle to replace the Shuttle. The Air Force eventually realized that it made more sense to allow both Boeing and Lockheed Martin to proceed with their programs rather than down-select to just one. Meanwhile, NASA's new reusable launch vehicle program led nowhere.
    Both Atlas V and Delta IV were truly outstanding programs, despite the significant handicap of being limited to 1980 vintage propulsion technology. Only one launch failure occurred for each of the two booster designs. Great job Delta IV!

It mostly admonished congressional oversight (which pits each district against all others). Artemis, for example, will cost almost $2 billion/ride, because some parts are replicated 10x over (as each member insists their districts maintain complete factory specs). What's worse - Congress just signed a new 5 year agreement that will increase launch costs by almost 8x. The report concludes - "Launching People Into Space Should Be Left to Private Industry".

    I have heard that the old radar site (2 dish antennas) on Tranquillon Peak is no longer used.
    Makes sense, as refitting the buildings with modern equipment might cost too much, but, if it is true, it's still a little sad.

    ULA sends his last NASA payed relic from the 80's into space, there fixed the title for you.

    • @Delta-V-Heavy
      @Delta-V-Heavy 2 года назад +1

      This launch was payed for by the military, not NASA. I doubt the spy satellite on board has been in development since the 80s. 90s at the earliest, surely. And this is not the last ever launch of Delta IV Heavy, though I understand how the title might've confused you. This is simply the last launch from this particular pad; there are still two more launches left, though these will be from Florida rather than Vandenburg.

      Delta Heavy was an embarrassment (costing over $300 million per launch). Average costs for heavy vehicles generally run about 140-160m globally. SpaceX Heavy undercuts everybody (at under $100 million). Congress has always pushed projects (no matter how inefficient) to DC lobbyists with the most money.
