Nothing like watching and feeling a launch in person. Was able to watch and or feel the launches from the Cape beginning in the 1960's. Redstones were amazing but failures tended to blow out my picture windows. Atlas engines are great to watch in person but as I now live in Boulder, I really appreciate being able to watch via NASA spaceflight.
So... the Centaur upper stage is powered by an expander-cycle RL-10. What is that pipe on the right spewing gas that looks like a gas generator exhaust?
From the manual: "...pre -chill of the LH 2 turbopump is accomplished by flushing LH2 through the engine and overboard." I guess that might be it? Edit: Watching it again it keeps going after start-up so maybe something more?
@@Cyborgnik You can get higher thrust but lower Isp. RL-10 has low thrust and very high Isp so I doubt that. Maybe it lets out some hydrogen for roll control?
How much is the Atlas V really a follow-on to the Atlas launchers derived from the SM-65 ICBM, or is it really just an Russian Energiya with a US flag decal pasted on the side?
@damien @turbofan450 My answer was accurate. I agree that NS is suborbital, but it is still a booster landing. Rocket Lab is working towards Catching boosters, not there yet.
@@damien-nk9ko they care planning to catch it with a helicopter and gently place it on a ship. Neutron is planned to land and in heavy development. Who cares if it lands propulsive so long as it is recovered.
Payload integration. The payload is designed to be launch on Atlas V with its launch characteristics (g load, vibrations, vertical integration, payload adapter, fairing size etc) and can't be easily moved to another launcher i.e Falcon 9 without major review and testing

I was literally stand 3 miles away from this watching this in real time awesome
I actually watched this live! Was awesome seeing it as my first in person rocket launch
Yeah I agree I was on the beach with my wife and kids unreal experience

any successful launch advances moves us forward great coverage
Yeah! Great Work All!
That was a wild turm from negative perigee. RL10 is powerful. Great launch!
I keep expecting to see a first stage landing because those boys over at SpaceX make it look so easy.
youze guys are great and getting better with every broadcast.
Great channel you guys ROCK 💯🚀💖

It might be an open expander cycle, which I believe is used to achieve higher performance.

Well it's a good job ULA stocked up with all the RD180s it needs to complete all its missions!
There won't be any more of them.
In happier days it was nice to see cooperation like the use of Russian engines in US rockets. So sad to see that era pass.
Well done.
Good luck and good work?
it is beautiful
I noticed that as the rocket approached max Q, the nose cones of the boosters flattened by crumpling inward.

*READY TO LAUNCH*
What happened, I didn't see the landing burn part 🤔
Lets Get Ready to RUMBLE!!.
👍👍👍👍👍
37:11 when t minus 3 seconds 🤓
NASA would you do ring Explorer to Saturn with an Atlas 5.
How much is the Atlas V really a follow-on to the Atlas launchers derived from the SM-65 ICBM, or is it really just an Russian Energiya with a US flag decal pasted on the side?
I believe it shares almost nothing in common with the old atlas ICBM's. Also the only russian components are the RD-180 engines.
Is anyone other than Spacex working on landing their booster?
Blue Origin have successfully landed New Shepard boosters.
Rocket Lab may succeed soon too.
@@kitt44kt RL isn’t landing Electron
@@kitt44kt blue origin isn't worth mentioning since NS is a sub orbital class rocket

Woo!
But it doesn’t come back and land
Yes not every rocket can do that.
So ?
Debris material wow
What kind of Russian engines is Atlas using these days?
RD180
Ridiculously Disposable 180
OMG SO THATS WHAT IT WAS WHIKE I WAS DRIVING TODAY??😭😭😭
Weather ?? The payload section looks more like a weapon.
Russian Engines right?
don't know why anyone would even use ULA at this point

Water towers can fly

Spaceforce station? LMAO
