Чтото тут не то. Подозреваю что толстый четырёхмоторный Центавр у Вулкана для ЛЕО. А на ГСО полетит обычный, ещё и одномоторный. Толстый на ГСО сам себя то хрен вытянет.
 У Дельты верхняя ступень потому и маленькая что она по сути не ступень а РБ, летит на ГСО.
Ну у вас везде альтернативное мнение. У Дельты верхняя ступень маленькая потому, что хватает и такой, а дальнейшее увеличение размеров и тяги дает не очень большой прирост ПН, но приличный рост стоимости.

Юла в свое время предлагала единую верхнюю ступень для Дельты-4 и Атласа-5, этакий Центавр с вдвое увеличенной заправкой и двумя двигателями, так вот с ней Атлас-5 55х вывел бы на ГСО 5,2 т против 3,9 т у обычного 551-го, а Дельта-Хэви 8,4 т против 6,6 т у стандартной, ну и на ЛЕО заодно 30,5 т.

Тоже неплохо...

United Launch Alliance

Опубликовано: 13 мая 2019 г.

New weld stations going in at our rocket factory in ULA's Decatur, Alabama, factory, for the new, even more amazing Centaur upper stage for Vulcan Centaur. These are two of six planned stations for the new Centaur welders. Using new manufacturing tech will help us make our new rocket more capable and more affordable. Also visible are the integration, assembly and check out (IACO) area and primer booth for Delta IV production.

First Flight on Schedule for 2021

Centennial, Colo., May 20, 2019 – United Launch Alliance leaders and engineers completed an important milestone with the conclusion of the system Critical Design Review (CDR) for the company's new Vulcan Centaur rocket. The system-level CDR is the final review of the design for the overall rocket.

"This is a tremendous accomplishment for the ULA team and a significant milestone in the development of a rocket – signaling the completion of the design phase and start of formal qualification," said Tory Bruno, ULA's president and CEO. "Vulcan Centaur is purpose built to meet all of the requirements of our nation's space launch needs and its flight-proven design will transform the future of space launch and advance America's superiority in space."

The system CDR was a week-long detailed review of the entire Vulcan Centaur system with the primary focus to verify all of the elements will work properly together as a system. As part of the certification process with the U.S. Air Force, Air Force representatives are included as part of the design review.

"ULA's Atlas and Delta rockets have served as the backbone for American space launch for decades and our next-generation rocket will advance this rich heritage," said Bruno. "Vulcan Centaur will provide higher performance and greater affordability while continuing to deliver our unmatched reliability and precision."

When the first Vulcan Centaur rocket flies in less than two years, a high percentage of the rocket will have flown before on ULA's Atlas launch vehicle including the fairing, upper stage engines in a dual configuration, avionics, software and solid rocket motors.

"Vulcan Centaur brings together the best of Atlas and Delta technology, and we are flying all of the major components that we can on Atlas V first to reduce the risk for our customers on the first flight," said Bruno.

ULA and its suppliers have invested in and modernized the factory in Decatur, Alabama, bringing in state-of-the art manufacturing technologies. Flight hardware is already being built for the first flight, and the production is on schedule for the initial launch in 2021.

With more than a century of combined heritage, ULA is the world's most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 130 satellites to orbit that provide Earth observation capabilities, enable global communications, unlock the mysteries of our solar system, and support life-saving technology.

Notice anything different? As we countdown to the first #VulcanCentaur launch in 2021, we're modifying our SLC-41 to support our next-gen rocket in addition to #AtlasV. And we do this while continuing to support the existing manifest.

I spy a Vulcan booster LNG qualification tank just finished and heading off to structural testing...

How do you get over a million pounds of thrust from a pair of BE4 rocket engines efficiently into the rest of the rocket? With a ultra high performance thrust structure. Here's Vulcan's on its way to structural testing.

ULA Submits Proposal for U.S. Air Force's Launch Services Competition

Centennial, Colo., Aug. 12, 2019 – At the United Launch Alliance (ULA) factory in Decatur, Alabama, production of the first Vulcan Centaur rocket continues, with shipment to the launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida scheduled for late next year for processing in preparation for its first launch in 2021.

"Atlas and Delta rockets have been the backbone of national security space launch for decades, building on a progressive history of technology development and advancement -- Vulcan Centaur will advance this rich heritage," said Tory Bruno, ULA's president and CEO. "Following the successful launch of our 134th mission just last week on our Atlas rocket, we submitted our purpose-built Vulcan Centaur rocket for the U.S. Air Force's Phase 2 Launch Services competition. It is so exciting to see the first flight vehicle coming together at our factory."

The Department of Defense has established a selection strategy to ensure a smooth transition to a U.S. engine, while introducing competition, driving down costs and safeguarding continued assured access to space by preventing any capability gaps. Nearly one year ago, the Air Force held a competition and awarded three Launch Services Agreements for public-private partnerships to develop launch vehicles. Phase 2 is the next procurement in the Air Force's strategy.

"The nation is facing a contested space environment, and we are unleashing the energy of American ingenuity by developing Vulcan Centaur to meet our nation's need for expanding space missions," said Bruno. "Vulcan Centaur's flight proven design, coupled with innovative technology, is transforming the future of space launch and will advance America's superiority in space."

ULA is the nation's only full-range national security space launch provider and is the most experienced, with more than 130 launches and 100 percent mission success. Additionally, ULA and the heritage companies are the nation's only firms who have ever flown the exquisite Category C heavy-class national security missions, thus providing the country with extreme confidence of continued low-risk mission performance.

"Vulcan Centaur will provide higher performance and greater affordability while continuing to deliver our unmatched reliability and orbital accuracy precision from our treasured cryogenic Centaur upper stage," said Bruno. "ULA is the best partner for national security space launch, and we are the only provider to demonstrate experience flying to all orbits including the most challenging heavy-class missions, providing the bedrock foundation for the lowest risk portfolio of two launch service providers for the U.S. Air Force."

In the factory, the fabrication of the structure for the first Vulcan Centaur rocket continues, and the team recently completed the booster structural test article in Decatur. In Florida, assembly of the new Mobile Launch Platform has begun in preparation for the first launch.

With more than a century of combined heritage, ULA is the world's most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 130 satellites to orbit that provide Earth observation capabilities, enable global communications, unlock the mysteries of our solar system and support life-saving technology.
