A roll program or tilt maneuver is an aerodynamic maneuver that alters the attitude of a vertically launched space launch vehicle. It consists of a partial rotation around the vehicle's vertical axis, allowing the vehicle to then pitch to follow the proper azimuth toward orbit. [1] A roll program is usually completed after the vehicle clears ...
Falcon 9 Block 5, the most prolific active orbital launch system in the world. This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list ...
An orbital spaceflight (or orbital flight) is a spaceflight in which a spacecraft is placed on a trajectory where it could remain in space for at least one orbit. To do this around the Earth , it must be on a free trajectory which has an altitude at perigee (altitude at closest approach) around 80 kilometers (50 mi); this is the boundary of ...
Jeff Bezos’ rocket company Blue Origin is cutting 10% of its workforce. This week's move comes a month after the debut of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, which reached orbit on its first try.
The company’s first orbital rocket, the Falcon 1, made a successful launch in September 2008. The company has deployed hundreds of missions to orbit since then.
SpaceX has pulled off a historic feat, after launching a rocket into space from the coast of Florida and landing the rocket booster in another country. Tuesday’s mission marked the first time a ...
After completing assembly of the rocket again at ULA's VIF, the launch took place on 19 May 2022 at 22:54 UTC, and completed the orbital insertion burn at 31 minutes into the mission. During this burn, two OMAC thrusters out of the twelve thrusters in the service module failed shortly after ignition, but the on-board flight control system ...
