New Shepard on the launch pad the morning of Mission 8, April 29, Blue Origin launched New Shepard on its 9th mission on July 18, Two of those experiments are from Florida universities. The principal investigators want to adapt the instrument for experiments lower than the edge of space, known as suborbital. The space plane, operated by two pilots, reached the edge of space 50 miles above Earth. Blue Origin plans to stream the launch live on its website.

It is unclear whether this spacecraft is still in orbit.

The Misty satellites operated in orbits with significantly lower inclination than Crystal: USA used a degree orbit and USA was deployed into a degree orbit, although its final destination is unknown.

Observations of the NROL payload, which is expected to be named USA once it reaches orbit, will likely reveal more about its identity and mission. A lack of observations could point towards it being another Misty satellite. The Delta IV Heavy that will be used for the NROL mission is the heaviest rocket currently certified to carry out national security launches of this nature. The rocket can be flown in five different configurations depending on the mass and dimensions of its payload and the target orbit. The Delta IV Heavy uses three Common Booster Cores strapped together, with the center core operating at partial thrust for much of its flight to extend its burn beyond that of the two outboard cores.

United Launch Alliance will instead focus on offering launch services in these classes with its Atlas V rocket , before introducing a new rocket — Vulcan — to replace both Atlas and Delta in the family. It would later be reconstructed to support Space Shuttle missions to polar orbits, however risk reduction following the Challenger accident eliminated these plans and the complex once again went unused.

This, along with another launch failing in April , led to a myth that the launch pad was cursed. The fourth and final Athena mission from SLC-6, in August , successfully delivered a healthy satellite to orbit. Delta first used the complex in June and has made seven launches from Vandenberg prior to this mission, two of which have been in the Heavy configuration. The starboard core will ignite seven seconds before the scheduled liftoff, with the port and center boosters igniting two seconds later at T This staggered ignition is intended to mitigate a fireball that can form around the rocket on startup as a result of hydrogen boiling off the rocket.

Liftoff will occur at the zero mark in the countdown. After pitching over onto a south-easterly azimuth of about degrees, Delta IV will pass through the area of maximum dynamic pressure — Max-Q — shortly before it reaches Mach 1 — the speed of sound — 82 seconds into the flight.

The three CBCs will power the rocket for the first three minutes and fifty-six seconds of the flight, with the port and starboard boosters burning at full thrust and the center core at partial thrust. When the two outboard cores deplete their propellant, their engines will shut down, and the spent cores will separate two seconds later.

Once the port and starboard boosters have separated, the center core will throttle up and burn at full power for most of the remaining two minutes of first-stage flight. Seven seconds after main engine cutoff MECO , the first stage will be jettisoned and the second stage will enter its prestart sequence. The RL10B-2 engine will ignite twelve seconds after stage separation. Owing to the classified nature of this mission, United Launch Alliance has not published a timeline for mission events following fairing separation and as is normal for NRO flights all official coverage of the mission is expected to conclude at this point other than a press release confirming a successful launch some time after spacecraft separation.

The second stage will likely make a single burn, lasting around 12 minutes, before separating its payload into low Earth orbit. An additional launch hazard area to the northwest of Vandenberg suggests that the second stage will be deorbited into the Pacific shortly after separation.

SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA launches all scrubbed; do-overs planned

This launch is the last of for United Launch Alliance, ending a year in which the company has flown four Atlas V and three Delta IV rockets, as well as the final flight of its venerable Delta II vehicle.
