NRO Launches Eighth Proliferated Architecture Mission with NROL-57
March 21, 2025

The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), in partnership with U.S. Space Force Space Launch Delta 30 and SpaceX, successfully launched the NROL-57 mission aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex-4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on March 21, 2025, at 2:49 a.m. EDT. 

Today’s mission is the eighth overall launch of the NRO’s proliferated architecture and second proliferated launch of 2025. The steady deployment of this program is quickly growing the U.S. government’s largest and most resilient intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance constellation. This latest proliferated NRO mission continues to increase our space-based intelligence capabilities to address strategic national security needs. 

Over the past two years, NRO has launched more than 150 satellites, creating the largest and most capable government constellation on orbit in our nation’s history. Continuing with this momentum, 2025 is set to be another dynamic year, with approximately one dozen NRO launches scheduled. Approximately half of these launches will focus on advancing the NRO’s proliferated architecture with additional proliferated launches planned through 2029, ensuring sustained growth and innovation.

For more than 60 years, the NRO has successfully met the needs of its U.S. intelligence, military, civil, and allied partners. It remains the world’s leader in unique intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. The NRO’s next-generation systems will help ensure that the right data is delivered to the right user at the right time, faster than ever before.

Additional information on upcoming launches will be available at NRO.gov/launch.

ULA - Delta, Atlas, Vulcan / Re: Potential sale of ULA
« Last post by woods170 on Today at 08:00 am »

But you are right that this inventory is a red flag to buyers. But the reason isn’t the cost of storage, it is that this highlights the more fundamental issues ULA faces with a poorly executed and poorly market optimised product
That would be wrong

Explain why.

Because Vulcan is years late, and is a (currently) fully expendable rocket competing in a market where the market leader offers partial reusability to lower prices.

Counter argument: explain why Vulcan has a launch backlog of nearly 80 launches. Not bad for a vehicle that is years late, fully expendable and competing against a market leader with lower prices.

Obviously they currently have a nice backlog, it just so happens that other than F9 there is almost no other option at the moment. But a potential buyer needs to see how far that will continue, with the knowledge that there are numerous players coming online soon with a product that will be cheaper by design.

How many of these 'backlog' launches would go to Vulcan once the competitors (with partial reuse and therefore inherently lower cost) come online? That is the question a potential buyer would be looking at.

A substantial portion of the non-NSSL part of the Vulcan backlog are contracts that were awarded to ULA while both Vulcan AND New Glenn were not flying yet, while F9 and FH were already fully operational AND the cheapest options to get stuff into orbit.

Don't be so sure that New Glenn coming online, or even Neutron coming online, is going to take away substantial business from Vulcan. Instead, they will mostly take away business from SpaceX.

The United States established its heavy-lift rocket R&D capabilities during the 1970s-1980s. Without subsequent space programs to sustain them, this cutting-edge expertise would rapidly erode due to workforce attrition and contractor decline (systemic deindustrialization). Technical professionals require livelihoods – their skills lie in rocket development. If the U.S. government fails to provide such employment opportunities, these technological secrets will dissipate globally through talent mobility.
1) I don't see why US opportunities have to be government ones, given the existence of SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Firefly...
2) I am not sure there are any "technological secrets" left in 1970s & 80s rocket tech.
When addressing projects or technological research and development requiring extremely long timeframes to complete, purely commercial enterprises are particularly vulnerable to cyclical economic environment impacts. For instance, large commercial enterprises, constrained by investor requirements, typically focus on developing technologies and products that can be commercialized within 5-10 years. They find it extremely difficult to sustain technological projects requiring over 15 years without short-term returns. This fundamentally restricts many advanced aerospace projects requiring ultra-long development cycles (demanding 20-30 or even 50 years of continuous investment). Periodic economic crises (Western economic cycles recur approximately every 8-10 years) and shifts in commercial environments often lead to cash flow constraints in enterprises. Combined with shareholder pressure, this frequently results in mandatory termination of R&D projects, which is extremely detrimental to long-term technological development.

Government funding actually possesses safeguarding capabilities for such ultra-long-cycle investments, particularly for projects undergoing economic cyclical adjustments. This ensures stable long-term development of advanced technologies.

Regarding 1970s-1980s technologies still retained in the United States today, most countries worldwide—including the US itself—have lost the opportunity to redevelop them. For example, the RS25 remains the world"s only operational advanced reusable hydrogen-oxygen engine with over 200-ton thrust class. Even today, its technical specifications remain unchallenged: Soviet counterparts for such hydrogen-oxygen engines were never fully realized, existing only on paper and in historical records. European and Japanese hydrogen-oxygen engines are far inferior to RS25 in both performance and technology, with their smaller market scales further undermining industrial self-sufficiency for continued development. Comparatively, only China"s newly developed YF90 could potentially challenge RS25 (though its actual technical specifications remain slightly inferior and it has yet to complete development). How can one claim these 1970s-1980s technologies contain no proprietary secrets? If you were willing to sell "non-proprietary" RS25 engines (which you consider obsolete technological garbage) to China, the Chinese would likely be delighted to purchase them (though they might struggle to afford the high technology transfer fees).

Developing high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen propulsion systems presents extraordinary difficulties. Before formally developing YF90, China conducted over 20 years of technical preparation. When RS25 was originally developed, US aerospace achieved this at far lower costs compared to modern R&D expenditures, benefiting from significantly higher R&D efficiency at that time. Today, the US likely lacks sufficient technical talent to redevelop such capabilities. Comparatively, developing 200-300-ton class methane engines is substantially easier than hydrogen-oxygen systems. Liquid hydrogen presents extreme technical challenges—its physical properties and material requirements make development virtually impossible without national-level technological capabilities integrating top-tier R&D resources. In fact, since 2000, most US hydrogen-oxygen engine projects exceeding 10-ton thrust have failed or been abandoned, including RL60. RL10 has seen no substantial upgrades, while Blue Origin has only developed inferior hydrogen-oxygen systems. SpaceX originally planned hydrogen-oxygen propulsion for its Raptor engine but quickly abandoned the concept, with technical difficulty being the primary factor. The low density of liquid hydrogen makes RS25"s hydrogen pumps almost miraculous achievements in engineering.

Starship’s success is corporate, not national.

This very much remains to be seen. In 10 years we'll know. Falcon/Dragon is absolutely a national level capability (required for US crew space access until/unless Starliner is certified, launches many government payloads...); once Starship is a mature system, why shouldn't it be? (Barring some truly major program failure, that either kills the project outright or makes it never really reusable.)
A nation's aerospace capability fundamentally differs from that of commercial enterprises. National aerospace capacity reflects comprehensive state capacity and executive power, embodying sovereign will. In contrast, commercial enterprises prioritize profit maximization within reasonable cycles, seeking maximum capital returns with minimal risk exposure.

Divergent objectives dictate operational paradigms. Should US aerospace regulatory institutions excessively rely on capabilities from a few private enterprises to develop strategically vital industries, the short-term profit mentality inherent to commercial interests will erode long-term strategic gains.

This mirrors the automotive industry disruption caused by Chinese EV manufacturers to American, European, and Japanese counterparts. Does this imply Chinese government and automakers possess mystical capabilities to elevate domestic vehicles—once disdained even by Chinese consumers—to industry leadership within a decade?

The reality is clear: Western corporations prioritized short-sighted technological investments and shortcut tactics. Consider how Tesla nearly collapsed under US capital market pressures in 2019—what forces intervened? Who ultimately rescued Musk and Tesla?

China's EV ascendancy stems from unwavering state support and industrial policy guidance. Notably, during 2019's crisis, the Chinese government not only rescued Tesla but also sustained BYD (which faced existential threats from 2017-2020). Ironically, China's aggressive EV industrialization primarily originated from existential fears—the recognition that if Western new energy vehicles dominated China's market, its automotive sector would collapse. China's relentless efforts simply reflect survival instincts against technological obsolescence, compounded by the automotive industry's critical role in national employment.

Should NASA degenerate into mere contracting authority focused on financial oversight, permitting chaotic commercial competition while forfeiting leadership in advanced technology selection and developmental control, the aerospace sector will inevitably replicate the systemic failures currently plaguing Western automotive industries.

When assessing national-level aerospace achievements like the Apollo Program, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station, reusable systems such as Falcon 9 rockets and Dragon spacecraft fall short of matching such historic accomplishments. True national-scale aerospace endeavors are represented by programs like the Constellation Program and Artemis Program. Crucially, these initiatives are not merely about building rockets or spacecraft—their core mission lies in establishing semi-permanent or permanent lunar bases or deep-space outposts at reasonable costs. This is the true measure of enduring U.S. leadership in space capabilities, a testament to transcending limits and perpetuating unchallengeable greatness.

The pinnacle of U.S. space dominance historically manifested as supreme confidence that deterred all competitors. Other nations dared not contemplate rivalry, instead desperately seeking inclusion in America’s "space alliance" through subservience. All understood their absolute inadequacy in financial resources, technological prowess, and industrial capacity to compete—even the faintest hope of rivalry seemed delusional. This was the uncontested supremacy that compelled even the strongest adversaries like the Soviet Union, Russia, and China to concede defeat, humbly accepting their subordinate roles as "honored participants" under U.S. leadership.

SpaceX's Falcon 9, Heavy Falcon, Dragon, and Starlink—even Starship—fail to recapture this magnitude of dominance. Musk’s Mars colonization vision could theoretically achieve this status if realized, though most currently view it as laughable. Even a successful Starship Mars landing wouldn’t prove feasibility for city-scale colonization—a feat requiring national-level financing and mobilization that exceeds Musk’s ambitions. No nation, including the U.S., could fiscally sustain his envisioned Martian metropolis.

To reaffirm America’s space supremacy, two objectives matter: completing semi-permanent lunar bases through Artemis to establish sustained lunar operations (excluding China/Russia), or achieving crewed Mars landings with temporary research stations (à la The Martian). These alone align with U.S. national capacity symbolism.

Falcon 9 and Dragon represent technologies within reach of China, Russia, Europe, India, and Japan through sufficient effort. Lunar/Martian base construction, however, remains fiscally unthinkable for any nation. Even China and Russia must collaborate with timelines extending beyond 2035. Artemis Program’s delays stem entirely from self-inflicted errors—wasted resources and advantages. Originally targeting 2028 lunar landings, current 2030 uncertainties primarily trace to two blunders: the 2021 HLS selection of high-risk Starship over safer alternatives that could have preserved the 2028 timeline, and premature supply chain ruptures from U.S.-China confrontations. Post-2010 offshoring of critical manufacturing to China (or Chinese substitutions) under globalized division of labor left America unaware of its own production gaps until trade restrictions revealed them—ironically, China only learned which industrial capabilities America had lost through U.S. export bans.

The tragedy lies in losing technologies like the RS25 cryogenic engines – masterpieces now facing obsolescence,

If a technology is obsolescent, its loss is significant only historically. RS25 type engines - liquid hydrogen, super high unit cost - are not the path forward. They are technological wonders, certainly, but that doesn't make them the best choice today.
The RS25 is not obsolete technology—hydrogen-oxygen propulsion still holds future developmental potential. You must understand that for deep space missions, hydrogen remains the most accessible chemical fuel. Through water electrolysis, it can be obtained anywhere, making hydrogen-oxygen systems the most practical propulsion solution beyond Earth’s orbital infrastructure. This explains why ongoing RS25 development remains critical. Advancing tripropellant chemical propulsion capabilities (whether water or methane-based) is essential, with water being even more universally available.

Moreover, such propulsion systems hold immense value for expendable upper-stage derivatives of Starship configurations. Completely abandoning rather than repurposing these technological assets would represent a profound loss.

Maintaining this technical capacity serves as tangible proof of U.S. space supremacy. The strength of American space power fundamentally stems from an efficient R&D system combined with unparalleled fiscal support (where even waste constitutes a form of strength). This saturation-level, overwhelming technological investment and comprehensive dominance across cutting-edge domains have always defined U.S. space leadership.

Now that a competitor has emerged—universally recognized as China—with drastically lower R&D costs, proven innovation efficiency, and persistent long-term strategic planning, the calculus shifts. China’s space ambitions mirror the U.S.-Soviet paradigm, seeking to demonstrate its ascendant power through full-spectrum technological rivalry (having explicitly declared 2035-2045 as its timeline for contesting space dominance, a goal formalized during 2015-2016 planning cycles with 30-year roadmaps).

Are you certain surrendering proven U.S. technological advantages is wise at this juncture? China has clear development plans for all three orbital recovery vehicle categories (VTVL, VTHL, HTHL). While the U.S. maintains temporary VTVL leadership, it lags in VTHL (Boeing’s failed legacy) and risks trailing in HTHL. Notably, ​RS25-class hydrogen-oxygen engines serve as the primary second-stage propulsion for VTHL/HTVL reusable spacecraft—conceptualized as spaceplanes with integrated fuel tanks.

This very capability for full-spectrum, saturation-level investment in super-scale R&D once defined U.S. space supremacy. Are you truly prepared to abandon it?

Ten years hence, when rivals deploy not only Starship-like rockets but superior designs – heavy-lift vehicles with advanced cryogenic upper stages (à la Saturn V), or tri-propellant (methane/hydrogen/oxygen) engines derived from RS25 lineage (200t thrust, usable on VTHL single-stage orbiters by 2040-2045)

I don't think it is at all a given that rockets superior to Starship will exist in 10 years (in fact I find it very unlikely), and when they do arrive I don't think they will use tripropellant or RS25 derived engines. They'd be more likely to be "Starship derived but with the knowledge of what mistakes were made in Starship design". But 10 years from today isn't enough for that. 10 years from Starship being a mature system, maybe.  But Starship itself will presumably undergo further development.

As for 10+ companies... I think there's an inherent tension between the desire of the government and other major providers to have multiple options, and economies of scale. I don't think we can yet rule out the possibility that the economies of scale will prove to be so significant that launch is essentially a natural monopoly, and providers other than the #1 will exist only to provide alternatives... Not because they can actually compete in the market.
Regarding Starship, its design flaws have become increasingly apparent, making alternative heavy rocket architectures clearly superior. This discussion should wait until its true challenger—China’s Long March 9 (CZ-9)—officially debuts. Leaked images already reveal stark design divergences between the two systems. By analyzing these differences through the lens of mission requirements, one can discern fundamentally distinct philosophies in heavy-lift system engineering.

For many observers like myself, witnessing Starship’s evolution from V1 to V2/V3 confirms its deviation from optimal technical pathways. Core design flaws permeate the architecture. Crucially, Starship was tailored to SpaceX’s corporate capabilities rather than maximizing the full potential of U.S. aerospace industrial capacity. Had it been a national program or incorporated broader industry expertise with enhanced technical resources, Starship might have achieved true perfection as a heavy-lift vehicle.

Starship's current design undeniably suffers from critical mass inefficiency, rooted in its stainless steel fuselage. This overweight issue caused the V1 iteration to fall short of design specifications. Subsequent V2 and VTHL configurations represent reactive fixes—V2 sacrificed payload volume, while V3 expanded it.

While I acknowledge the rationale behind SpaceX’s stainless steel selection and its purported advantages, let’s focus on facts: China’s planned CZ-9 utilizes an aluminum-magnesium alloy fuselage that drastically reduces mass. Featuring a shorter yet wider first stage, the three-stage CZ-9 accommodates 30-meter payload fairings (necessary for deploying space-based solar power stations in GEO). Its lightweight first stage employs a cable-driven recovery system operable at 70-meter altitude, fully deployable at sea.

Though CZ-9’s theoretical payload capacity (150t to LEO expendable, 100t reusable) currently trails Starship’s projections, it surpasses SpaceX’s vehicle in operational versatility—including direct lunar transfer orbit (LTO) payload delivery. China wisely avoids premature pursuit of second-stage reusability. Notably, Starship’s entire second stage merely constitutes an optional upper-stage configuration for CZ-9. China’s own 70-meter hydrogen-oxygen spaceplane concept (originally a VTHL secondary stage candidate) could integrate seamlessly with CZ-9’s 50-meter first stage—a stark contrast to Starship’s absurd design philosophy requiring permanent attachment of its 30-meter secondary propellant tanks (projected to grow beyond 40m in V3).

Such compromised engineering would never emerge in national programs, yet thrives unquestioned at SpaceX—a consequence of Musk’s unchecked authority over private enterprise. Were Starship a state-led project, NASA-mobilized U.S. aerospace experts would have long addressed these flaws, preempting China’s "copycat" narrative. Reality, however, grants China an opportunity to disprove this stereotype: today’s Starship reflects only Musk’s vision, not America’s collective aerospace prowess.

The design differences between CZ9 and Starship are evident. This show the Chinese aerospace community universally recognizes Starship as a suboptimal design riddled with technical compromises—not reflecting U.S. industrial potential but exposing NASA’s institutional failure to consolidate national capabilities.

Until 2035 (regardless of lunar landing precedence), U.S. space leadership remains unchallenged due to its accumulated historical advantages. Beyond that threshold, whether America can retain global supremacy will require rigorous scrutiny.

ULA is a vestige of the old manufacturing base for the Pentagon, an anachronism that wouldn't die because of how the government does corrupt business with its suppliers. You know it's true when you hear the "backup supplier" red herring when all they ever had with ULA was one supplier. Yeah, suddenly, a redundant supplier is "really important."
The new paradigm, tech bros doing defense contracting, is a different, perhaps more efficient kind of corruption that will not include ULA.

NASA is picking Starship as one of the two options going forward.

No, they’re not, not yet.  There were multiple “large commercial landers” proposed to the industry call.  It’s a generic category, not a downselect to SX/Starship.

And there may be nothing going forward from any option if there are large cuts to the science budget at NASA.

Pop tip: You can't refute reality.

Again, it’s “pro tip”, not “pop tip”.
