📆 30.06.2023 #Vega-C is unlikely to return to flights before 📆 2024.
The #ESA management recently recommended transferring the #launch of the #EarthCARE #satellite 🛰️ to #SpaceX. Given the current situation with #European 🇪🇺 carriers, it is possible that this is not the last such recommendation. https://universemagazine.com/en/the-failed-test-doubts-the-future-of-the-vega-c-rocket

#Avio did not disclose additional details about the nature of the #anomaly or loss of performance https://spacenews.com/vega-c-suffers-setback-in-return-to-flight-effort

It seems they can't blame a supplier from #Ukraine 🇺🇦 this time ? 🤔 9 #launches since 2019, 3 failures. #LaunchCost $ 37 million 💵 for ~1,5 t payload https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega_(rocket)#2019

The two metal structures are the flame #deflectors, which are meant to sit under the #launch table during launch to divert #rocket #exhaust away from the #vehicle to avoid thermal, acoustic, or debris issues, as well as to minimize damage to #pad #infrastructure.
Theses #FlameDeflectors were used at LC-34 for the #Saturn I and the larger, wider one was used for the upgraded Saturn IB. Flame delflectors are meant to divert the #exhaust of a #rocket as it #launches to protect the #vehicle and #pad #infrastructure.
After the #Apollo Program was finished, #LC34’s tower was dismantlted to prevent its uncontrolled collapse due to rust from the salt spray. The rest was #abandoned in place and a #memorial #plaque and kiosk were to memorialize the deaths of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee during the Apollo 1 fire.

The modern #AtlasV #rocket, designed by #LockheedMarting and operated by the United Launch Alliance or #ULA, has been called the #DialARocket for its ability to add capacity by adding solid rocket boosters like increasing steps on a #dial.
Unfortunately, Fox (the #photographer) hasn’t covered any #launches of the #Atlas V 421 variant with only 2 #SRB’s.
But instead, please view this #photograph of the Atlas V Mobile Launch Platform #MLP and 2 of the 4 SRBs on the rocket that launched #Curiosity with #humans for #scale as they secure the MLP and disconnect the #locomotives that moved it from the #VIF.

This is the Atlas that launched #NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes #RBSP, renamed to the #VanAllen Probes once in orbit, they study the Earth’s #magnetosphere.

A United Launch Alliance #ULA #AtlasV 431 #rocket #launches from Cape Canaveral #CCAFS. It is equipped with a 4 meter fairing, 3 solid rocket boosters #SRBs, and a single RL-10 #engine on the #Centaur upper stage. The #Atlas V uses a #Russian RD-180 engine in its core stage, a deal worked out to prevent Russian technology from ending up in places the US didn’t want. So US companies were encouraged to form such partnerships.
Unfortunately they are no longer tenable.

#Playalinda #beach is perfect for #photographing #rocket launches, especially #AtlasV or #Falcon9 #launches.
There are multiple parking lots and boardwalk access to the #beach from Cape Canaveral National Seashore. From there, it is about a mile’s hike to the fence between #CCNS and #KSC / Kennedy Space Center. After the #launch (or #scrub), it’s another mile back to the boardwalk, on sand, carrying #photography gear.
But the launch is often worth it (few places you can *feel* the #sound of the engines), and sometimes the #view on the way back, looking over #MerrittIsland and #MINWR, is worth it too.
