28 verified start, verified 25 status check. Go Alice, go in the middle for us. Good t minus 10 nine 8765 four 321. We have motor ignition and liftoff from the United Launch Alliance Atlas five rocket carrying USSF 12 for the United States Space Force pitch-over program. The body’s range looks good and the system’s response has gone into closed loop. 20 seconds into flight this looks fine. This now completes the pitch-over maneuver. Body rates continue to look good. Slightly reduced to partial thrust, the response looks good. 36 seconds in flight. Palace five is now happening Mach one RD 1 80 continues to look good in partial thrust mode. Good chamber pressures on all SRB S At 49 seconds in *** flight Max Q max dynamic pressure RD 1 80 engine operating parameters continue to look good Srb chamber pressures also look good now after a minute of flight Mhm RS 1 80 is now throttling back up as expected on full boost. This is Kammerdruck’s on the SRB party that continues to look good. 1 80 engine operating parameters are looking good now too 1 minute 23 seconds of flight commencement Now there are approximately three minutes left in the boost phase of flight and at this point in flight Atlas Five now weighs only half its take off weight and c srb chamber pressure is now relieving and we have sRB burnout. Yes, I have only a minute and 45 seconds after the flight, the engine operating parameters continue to look good. And we dropped all four solid rocket boosters, vehicles switched to closed loop guidance, body rate response looks good. Just after two minutes in flight, now already 180 slightly throttle as expected. Engine operating parameters continue to look good with two minutes remaining in the thrust phase of the flight. Atlas now prefers 50 miles in altitude, 78 miles. Down-range distance at 5000 mph, two minutes and 40 seconds in Already 180 engine operating parameters continue to look good three minutes after flight Party won 80 now throttle to maintain *** constant acceleration limits of 2.5G see a good response on the RD 1 80 body rates continue to look good during the boost phase, now three minutes and 20 seconds elapses after flight, about a minute now until biko and we have good signs for payload fairing, jettison and CFl. Our deck drop vehicles are now slightly throttled again. Engine response continues to look good And we are now throttling to keep *** constant 4.60 acceleration limited prep for Biko and we have boost face chill down. Four minutes into the flight, all vehicle systems continue to operate normally throughout the station. Body rates continue to look good. Engine operating parameters continue to look good as this acceleration limit is maintained
ULA launches rocket carrying Space Force satellites from Cape Canaveral

The United Launch Alliance plans to send a US Space Force satellite into space from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Friday evening. The start was scheduled for 18:00 and was postponed to 19:15. The satellite will better detect and track missile threats around the world. The launch was scrubbed Thursday night due to inclement weather, making Friday the second launch attempt by rocket maker ULA.
