Что там с циклограммой первой ступени?

1440 GMT (10:40 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 10 minutes. All systems reported stable as the Centaur fires to reach an initial Earth orbit.
 
1439 GMT (10:39 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 9 minutes. The RL10C continues to perform well, burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants.
 
1438 GMT (10:38 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 8 minutes, 20 seconds. Vehicle traveling at 15,087 mph.
 
1437 GMT (10:37 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 7 minutes, 15 seconds. The rocket has performed a planned roll to improve antenna links with NASA's orbiting Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.
 
1436 GMT (10:36 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 6 minutes, 55 seconds. A look at first stage performance numbers show a nominal burn by the booster.
 
1436 GMT (10:36 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 6 minutes. RL10C performing well.
 
1435 GMT (10:35 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 5 minutes. Centaur engine readings look good as this burn gets underway.
 
1434 GMT (10:34 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 4 minutes, 46 seconds. Centaur has ignited! The RL10C engine is up and running at full thrust for its first of three firings today to reach the intended geosynchronous transfer orbit.
 
1434 GMT (10:34 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 4 minutes, 37 seconds. The Atlas 5's Common Core Booster first stage has been jettisoned, and the Centaur upper stage's liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen systems are being readied for engine start.
 
1434 GMT (10:34 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 4 minutes, 33 seconds. BECO. Booster Engine Cutoff is confirmed as the RD-180 powerplant on the first stage completes its burn. Standing by to fire the retro thrusters and separate the spent stage.
 
1433 GMT (10:33 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 3 minutes, 40 seconds. The two-halves of the Atlas 5 rocket nose cone encapsulating the MUOS spacecraft have separated, exposed the satellite to space. Also jettisoned was the Forward Load Reactor, a two-piece deck that rings the Centaur stage to support the bulbous fairing during launch.
 
1433 GMT (10:33 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 3 minutes, 30 seconds. The RD-180 main engine continues to fire normally, burning a mixture of highly refined kerosene and liquid oxygen.
 
1433 GMT (10:33 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 3 minutes. The vehicle weighs just a quarter of what it did at liftoff.
 
1432 GMT (10:32 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 2 minutes, 50 seconds. Reaction control system has been activated.
 
1432 GMT (10:32 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 2 minutes, 40 seconds. Everything still looking good on the first stage as the rocket powers downrange on the thrust being produced by the main engine.
 
1432 GMT (10:32 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Vehicle is right on course.
 
1431 GMT (10:31 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 1 minute, 53 seconds. All five of the Aerojet Rocketdyne-made solid rocket motors have successfully separated fr om the Atlas 5, having completed their job of adding a powerful kick at liftoff.
 
1431 GMT (10:31 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 93 seconds. Solid rocket booster burnout has occurred. But the spent motors will remain attached to the first stage for a few seconds, until the Atlas 5 reaches a point wh ere the airborne dynamic pressure reduces to an allowable level for a safe jettison.
 
1431 GMT (10:31 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 60 seconds into this complex three-hour mission to deploy the Navy's fifth Mobile User Objective System communications satellite in a high-perigee geosynchronous transfer orbit.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 51 seconds. A period of maximum dynamic pressure is being experienced by the rocket.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 40 seconds. The main engine is throttling down to ease the stresses on the vehicle in the lower atmosphere.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 36 seconds. Mach 1.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 30 seconds. The vehicle is heading due eastward to reach a 28-degree inclination preliminary parking orbit 12 minutes from now.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 T+plus 15 seconds. Pitch, yaw and roll maneuvers are underway as the Atlas 5 thunders away from Cape Canaveral with its RD-180 engine and five solid rocket boosters burning.
 
1430 GMT (10:30 a.m. EDT)
 LIFTOFF! Liftoff of the Atlas 5 rocket to complete the Navy's mobile communications satellite constellation in the sky!

A5/MUOS5: RD-180 burned full duration; no repeat of early cutoff like the one experienced during March launch

[che wi]

The most powerful version of the Atlas V available launched this morning, June 24th 2016 at 14:30 UTC, 10:30 Local time from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The nearly 63 meter tall rocket with Russian powered RD 180 engine and five solid rocket motors boosted the Mobile User Objective System 5 (MUOS-5) satellite into orbit for the US Navy. MUOS provides vital communications and connectivity to armed forces around the globe.

5 лет - и группировка избыточного состава развернута. Можно только позавидовать, что у американской РКП есть заказчик с деньгами, знающий, чего хочет :cry: .

Ну так британские уч0ные давно доказали, что быть богатым и здоровым лучше, чем бедным и больным...

Нам нужен свой ФРС. будет и автомобилестроение, и ракеты, и экспедиция на Марс.

MUOS 5 GTO insertion and Centaur fuel dump imaged from Australia

The spectacular image above was kindly made available to me by Paul Camilleri from Warners Bay in Australia. Taken around 18:03 UT using a 180 mm lens, it shows the just launched MUOS 5 satellite and the associated Centaur upper stage: the latter is venting fuel creating a "comet-like" cloud.

The image was made some 40 minutes after MUOS 5 separated from the Centaur stage (separation happened at ~17:23 UT). The two objects were at an altitude of ~30 000 km at that time, in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).
