It's basically a miracle that sold rocket booster failure did not cause the whole vehicle to explode.
Thinking the same thing. Fortunate that the expanded plume wasn't on the main rocket side.
Glad to see our BE-4 engines preformed nominally even after that booster nozzle failure!
Can't wait for Scott Manley's analysis on the SRB
legit this

Came earlier than expected xD
You got it
Just came back from there.
Anomaly occurred on SRB nozzle,and rocket started to pitch off course, but some dang miracle happened and we didn't have boom😅
Yes! Something was definitely NOT right with the SRBs.
I was also anticipating a major Unscheduled... Let's say, impressive event 😅
Glad I'm not crazy. Definitely thought that couldn't be normal when I saw that burst from the nozzle
It looked like it was blowing chunks of unburnt propellant. Not good. I'm guessing that is also why it had an anomaly with the nozzle. The throat material of most SRB nozzles is resilient to heat, but not "strong". It is also...in most cases, designed to erode at a specific rate, but only if the propellant burns cleanly.
Watching from Firefly Aerospace in Texas, we were impressed it made it "up the hill" with an anomaly of that caliber! Very impressive and hardy vehicle. Congrats on a successful launch
Drinking the Boeing KoolAid is see. Needs a bumper sticker: Honk if Parts are Falling off. Only Boeing fans believe this is success!
Is the booster contracted out?
@@keithward3970 Probably on paper since Boeing is being held to set price contracts. It is how they make up the lost funds. They contract out to themselves. It is how ULA survives costing so much.
@@keithward3970 chrisp7652 doesnt know what hes talking about. The boosters are GEM63XL’s provided by northrop grumman.
The Vulcan rocket does that mean Mr Spock's on board😁😆😅
🖖👽sure Long & Prosper
One hell of a well designed vehicle. Lost an SRB nozzle and powersled itself into a nominal orbit. Congrats ULA!
Well designed? If it were, parts would not be falling off!
@@chrisp7652 parts fell off because of a manufacturing defect, not a design fault.
@@chrisp7652 well designed rockets fail, spaceflight is always risky. Falcon 9, the current most reliable rocket has failed multiple times, are you gonna tell the spacex engineers that their rocket isn't well designed?
@@cardboard9124 That you compare ULA to SpaceX is laughable!
@@chrisp7652 im trying to prove to you that a single failure doesn't mean bad engineering, the vulcan is actually very well engineered
first time in history that a rocket has had a major SRB failure and still had a successful mission.
Are you a redneck? Parts falling off is not an issue? You have that bumper sticker on your vehicle; “Honk If Parts Are Falling Off” don’t you?
@@MehdiNakouriTn uhhh… parts blowing off is NOT a successful mission. It was dumb luck it didn’t blow up or didn’t self destruct!
What about Space Shuttle? It's quite hard to forget what happened to Challenger.
@@radicalgalenotice how he said successful mission
@@chrisp7652 The payload got to it's designated orbit so it is successful
So will they shut down the Vulcan for it's mishap failure like they did SpaceX?
Oh yeah, 2-year penalty! That SRB could've endangered the entire .... FAA's Witaker will handle this bs!
^..^~~
There will be an investigation but ULA are in no rush they will probably launch again next year sometime
Nope
My understanding is that they will not be able to launch again until the mishap investigation is complete, as was the case with SpaceX. So yes, they will.
Cue Whiny Musk Cult in
3...2....1...Kvetch.
it's a miracle that the FTS did not kick on, sooo close
Congrats on the launch, but please, what’s up with the damn animation. Put some cameras on the vehicle.
Plenty of cameras on board. They don't have to share!
Looking forward to the aggressive FAA investigation into the SRB anomaly. 🤣
So no honesty about that nozzle?
Hey nothing to see here... The nozzle didn't blow up or anything 😒
Scott Manley
"Eff if I know."
Such a cute little rocket
UHHHH they could not afforded GO PROS? maybe they need to ask SPACE X how they mount cameras on their ships. so we can see it. jeeze.
They don't want to pay for the Starlink subscription.
I can almost guarantee you there’s a good amount of engineering cameras on the vehicle.
Getting that stream to the ground and actually wanting to show it is a different story.
Ignorant Musk Cultist opines...Amateur.
After SpaceX transmitting everything live, on video. Watching this animation is little bit childish and boring at the same time. 😢
Mission straight from the 70s. Throwaway booster, cartoon animation and no launch parameter graphics.
"So, now why don't you talk about the part where almost had a massive RUD?"
No comment
But but BUUUUUUT there was a "Off nominal event." The F.A.A. must ground it for at least 6 months after it's ready for its next launch. Fair is fair. 6 months after it's ready for its next launch. Paperwork is paperwork, and fair is fair.
SpaceX has spoiled me. I forget that most rocket companies don't like to live stream onboard video footage of their launches.
Reminds of the old school rockets the way they used to build them
R.I.P. Bieber (who's on this one-way trip to Mars).
May the force be with you 😊😇
What was that small explosion shortly after takeoff?
Booster nozzle having an oopsie. Very lucky that it went from only exploding in the intended direction, to still mostly exploding in the intended direction.
@@xiphosura413 oh wow bet the FAA won't ground them for an investigation like they do SpaceX
Booster nozzle fell off
Pay no attention to the GEM nozzle exploding, it was a nominal de-nozzle event.
What’s this mission all about and what is ULA’s goal for the Vulcan rockets?
This is a test flight. It was suppoed to launch the dreamchaser months ago i think but due to delays they decided to fly with a mass simulator only
Those BE-4's ain't no joke!!
Where are the on board cameras?
I used to enjoy watching all this technology demonstrations and then FAA and the government happened
This is Vulcan crazy.
No camera onboard the spacecraft 😂
Nobody cares...GO STARSHIP!!!!
Elon chuckles in the corner...
Solid rocket booster issue needs to be addressed.
The centaur second stage worked fine.
sometimes i wish they did these with no commentary tbh 😬
Im wondering if the FAA will mandate the ULA has the same scrutiny for safety as Boeing for the booster failure 🤔 i mean, wildlife could have been in danger, right?
Y'all take this way too personally... it's not your rocket.
Would be going with passengers to the Vulcan planet in 2030. 🖖
Lucky the Solid rocket booster didn't destroy the whole vehicle.
Who makes the SRB part that failed? Was it the slurry had a void or something that ate through to the casing?
I'm wondering if there was a failure of an ablation shield in the nozzle which started to add some excitement to the plume but did not damage the SRB.
The liquid fuel main engines look great.
Did they reuse the engines and kept the second stage in orbit?
Northrup Grumman makes the SRBs. I wonder what the SRB failure rate is expected to be.
LIVE LONG & PROSPER!!
Am I correct that the anomaly occurred at the fifty second mark of the video? Here is a time stamp at 0:45.
Tried watching the launch on the NASASpaceflight channel but their constant yammering drove me nuts. Decided to wait for a later replay from another source.
No methane burn system on pad. Space Shuttle's sprinks system more not used. Launch like as on Zhuque-2, and Starship.
Why was behind the engine solid black
Let’s face it. SpaceX is truly the innovative rocket company in the US. The bureaucrats in the FFA and other US government agencies are hindering its progress.
What is the cost of this trip and PURPOSE!
Well, it's a second test flight and the cost is really none of your business.
@@jamescarter8311 typical response that answers absolutely nothing🔺
@@thedailyfeather It's the second test flight and it's carrying a mass simulator. Vulcan's main purpose is to put military satellite's into orbit
FAA wants SpaceX to be as bad as Boeing before they launch? Boeing proving they are not committed to excellence! Nice how this video didn’t show the issues with this launch.
I would not certify yet!
Where is the ntsb’s stamp of approval?
0:50 what happened there?
SRB nozzle blew up
Northrop Grumman not having a good day
Go BE4's!
What’s with the bad animation in this age.. it’s not the 1980s
srb performance looks off nominal. some big chunks were falling.
Kept watching for the return landing of the booster………uh…….wait……….what………….not happening?
Luck is with you...
No methane burn system on pad. Space Shuttles spriks system more not used.
BE4 anomaly?
Sem palavras
An SRB failure but still a successful flight to orbit, that’s one hell of a testament to the robustness of Vulcans control systems.
The engineers at ULA should be very proud of themselves. Even without the phenomenal handeling of the anomaly, this is an incredible achievement!
@@joelmulder More like a testament to dumb luck.
