Guess who the other owner of ULA is....
Sure but the rocket being used is Atlas V which is from the Lockheed half of the partnership.
Delta series is what Boeing brought to the ULA partnership. Which they acquired from buying out McDonnell Douglas.
Boeing didn't design either rocket ULA has flown.
My impression, and correct me if I am wrong, is that Boeings issues are largely management/culture driven (this may just be the plane side of the business though). The Atlas 5 this is being launched on may have been designed by LM, but it was still built under the same management/culture.
But either way, the Atlas 5 is a very reliable rocket, so the scorn isnt really that deserved.
Boeing issues are plane side of the business for sure.
From little I'm aware, part of why Boeing sought a partnership with Lockheed is because they weren't sure what to do with the aerospace pieces of McDonell Douglas and Rockwell they acquired in the late 90's. Meaning most of the "Boeing" contribution to ULA came from other companies already serving NASA for decades. Mainly with the Delta rockets.
None of that was core Boeing business. Which is why ULA has been run by Lockheed people the whole time it has existed. Current ULA CEO Tory Bruno was an engineer at Lockheed for a long time before working his way up to where he's at now. Something like 30 years in the industry.
