๐ Atlas V's Last Cargo Mission Just Flew โ 29 Satellites and an Era Ends at Cape Canaveral
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifted off at 12:30 a.m. ET on July 2, carrying 29 Amazon Project Kuiper broadband satellites โ its final cargo mission before the rocket heads into retirement. The 29 satellites weighed about 18 tons total, tying the Atlas V record for its heaviest-ever payload, and brought the constellation to 396 satellites in orbit. After this, only a handful of Boeing Starliner crewed missions remain before ULA hands the baton to its newer Vulcan rocket. What is your favorite memory of the Atlas V?
