What Hype is tracking

  • The changes define NASA’s intended SLS configuration and ground-infrastructure approach for the program’s path through the 2030s.
  • Isaacman links standardization and the proposed stretched Centaur V, alongside ending Mobile Launcher 2 work, to higher flight rates and lower costs—two central measures of the launch system’s sustainability.
