Vulcan Centaur VC2S (Peregrine & 2 KuiperSat) - CCSFS - Eté 2023

https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/ula-continues-investigation-of-centaur-stage-anomaly/ a écrit:Publicly, ULA has set a May 4 target date for the debut launch of the Vulcan rocket. However, last month, even before the Centaur anomaly occurred, Ars reported that this date was already likely to slip into the summer based on the company's internal timelines. The effect of the Centaur anomaly is yet unclear on Vulcan's schedule.

"We are conducting an investigation and will fly when we believe it is safe to launch," ULA spokesperson Jessica Rye told Ars this week. "We will not know the impact to the launch date until we learn more information from the investigation."

ULA a écrit:La fusée Vulcan est positionnée au sommet du SLC-41 à la base de la Force spatiale de Cape Canaveral pour subir demain une répétition complète de la journée de lancement ainsi qu'un test de tir de préparation au vol de ses moteurs principaux prévu pour la semaine prochaine.
