While the price per launch certainly varies depending on Space Force demands and ULA's performance package, the above gives a sense that it is selling Vulcan for $100m-$120m per launch.

Interesting update on last week's Space Force assignments of NSSL Phase 2 missions here from SSC. SpaceX's 6 missions average out to $90.2 million per launch, while ULA's 6 average out to $105.5 million.

Terran Orbital $LLAP hires Tony Gingiss as COO, who previously served in that role for Virgin Orbit:

I'd assume this is for a Transporter mission, but we'll see.

few things elicit an anguished cry out of me more often than hearing "3...2..." and then seeing this

NASA awards SpaceX with a contract to launch four cube satellites no earlier than 2025 on a Falcon 9, under the agency's VADR program:

Pope Francis has a satellite:

For the unfamiliar, HASTE (Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron) will not be going to orbit, and this inaugural launch is for an unnamed, confidential customer:

Looks like the first of Rocket Lab's HASTE missions is on deck:

For more on how SpaceX's workhorse Falcon fleet changed the competitive landscape:

And here we are in 2023, with SpaceX launching an average of every 4 days so far:

I remember this time well, as near the end of 2020 was the first time I heard someone describe a Falcon 9 launch as "boring"

There goes the @VardaSpace Winnebago-1, powered by Rocket Lab's Photon:

It's amazing to watch these satellites drift off one-by-one into orbit above Earth

SpaceX just landed an orbital rocket booster for the 200th time:

Liftoff for Falcon 9, launching the Transporter-8 rideshare mission:

If successful, today would mark SpaceX's 200th landing of an orbital rocket booster. A topic I got into a bit in last week's newsletter:

If you like rocket launches with lots of stats, tonight's mission is for you. —SpaceX's 41st launch this year, and 2nd today —9th launch for this Falcon 9 booster —72 satellites on board Watch live:
