What happened

United Launch Alliance will try again Saturday to launch its Vulcan rocket with 40 Amazon Leo satellites after a power interruption at a nitrogen plant scrubbed Friday's attempt [2]. Amazon, ULA's co-owners and other launch companies are included below with their closes for November 12 and November 13.

ULA said a power interruption at the Air Liquide gaseous nitrogen plant resulted in the loss of its high-pressure pumps. Without confirmation of sustained commodity flow, the team decided to realign the launch to the back-up opportunity [2].

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is now scheduled for 12:32:30 p.m. EST (1732:30 UTC) on Saturday, Nov. 14. ULA said the rocket and the 40 satellites remain healthy [2].

The delay further postpones the Vulcan's return to flight, after solid rocket booster nozzles failed on two of its first four missions [2]. Amazon has described the mission, called Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01), as carrying its largest batch of Leo satellites yet and starting a 38-launch partnership with ULA [1].

What ATLAS data show

ATLAS model estimates put Amazon's fair value at $199.30, within a range of $120.65 to $329.21, with the price 32.97% above that value. For Lockheed Martin the estimate is $840.68 (range $581.88 to $1,199.25), with the price 29.36% below it. For Boeing the estimate is $191.25 (range $42.07 to $279.26), with the price 11.16% below it. These are model estimates, not promises, and are not advice.

Two prices falling between the same closes is a coincidence in time, not proof that one caused the other. The S&P 500 fell 1.00% and the Nasdaq-100 fell 2.01% between the same closes. Figures come from closes and may change.
