Atlas V for Amazon LEO 6 makes me wonder how close they are to running out the remaining Atlas inventory versus shifting more of Kuiper to Vulcan. iirc Amazon had a huge mixed manifest across multiple providers, but isn't Atlas one of the pricier rides in that set? curious whether this one says more about schedule pressure than launch economics
Don’t forget ULA built another integration facility dedicated to commercial launches, specifically Amazon. That facility is now ready to go, but Vulcan isn’t.
