T+70: Polar Launches from Cape Canaveral
from Main Engine Cut Off · host Anthony Colangelo
The US Air Force has developed a viable corridor for launching to polar and other high-inclination orbits from Cape Canaveral. I spend some time thinking through who may be interested in using that corridor and what its existence could mean for the newer launch vehicles in development.
