A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket will launch NASA’s Lucy spacecraft. Built by Lockheed Martin and led by the Southwest Research Institute, Lucy will fly by seven Trojan asteroids, a unique family of asteroids that orbit the sun in front of and behind Jupiter. The rocket will fly in the 401 vehicle configuration with a four-meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters, and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.

I have received an ‘Alert’ notice for possible S20 static fire attempt today (10-18). There is a road and beach closure scheduled. The ‘Alert’ notice states Space Test Activities from 4:00 pm - 1:00 am. The county website states closure from 5 pm - midnight. 🤷♀️

Every time I see someone talking about Astra, I confuse it with ARCA, and I think the silly asses had finally actually tried to launch their steam rocket.
