Talk:LauncherOne

No longer a redirect

After three years as a redirect, I have started a new article on this launch vehicle as of today. Article still needs a lot of work, but I think it is beyond stub level given the information already compiled when it was described in a subsection of the Virgin Galactic article over the past several years. Cheers. N2e (talk) 20:28, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

It's time to make a VG template... DRAFT:Template:Virgin Galactic (since the TSS template is inappropriately linking to some VG only topics (ie. the two "Spaceport X"es); while not linking to several other VG only topics (ie. VG corporate officers) ) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 14:55, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Sources on the engines

So the engine part of the article still needs a LOT of work. They've moved on to plan for NewtonThree and NewtonFour engines, leaving the older NewtonOne and NewtonTwo engines as footnotes along the way. Need to firn more public secondary sources. Here's one with useful N3/N4 engine info; I'll add others as I locate them. Cheers. N2e (talk) 17:36, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Launching from Guam

I was a bit surprised to see that LauncherOne has a scheduled launch from the Anderson Air Force Base, Guam: (mission ELaNa 29 [2]) I'll leave this here for the editors more familiar with this launcher and launch sites. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 17:22, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Closest US territory to the equator, probably? 13.5°N. --mfb (talk) 08:47, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Rowan Forest it appears according to this article published in May 2020 that Guam was picked because "the island’s low latitude and clear launch trajectories in almost all directions."
