At that altitude, satellites take 24 hours to complete one orbit and thus appear stationary in the sky, allowing the use of fixed antennas on the ground. Perched atop the Centaur was the Pentagon's fourth Advanced Extremely High Frequency communications satellite bound for a circular orbit 22,300 miles above the equator. At that point, a hydrogen-fueled Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C engine in the rocket's Centaur second stage took over, continuing the climb to a preliminary orbit. The strap-on boosters fell away about a little less than two minutes after liftoff and the first stage followed suit two-and-a-half minutes later. Putting on a dazzling sky show, the rocket quickly arced away to the east over the Atlantic Ocean trailing a long jet of rushing flame as it rapidly consumed propellants, lost weight and steadily accelerated out of the thick lower atmosphere. It was only the ninth flight of United Launch Alliance's most powerful "551" version of the Atlas 5, a variant that debuted in 2006 when it boosted NASA's New Horizons probe on a fast-track trajectory to Pluto. Generating a combined 2.6 million pounds of thrust, the powerful engine and side boosters quickly pushed the 197-foot-tall rocket away from pad 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, lighting up Florida's "Space Coast" for dozens of miles around. EDT (GMT-4) followed immediately by ignition of five Aerojet Rocketdyne solid-fuel strap-on boosters. The Atlas 5's Russian-built RD-180 first stage engine thundered to life with a brilliant jet of flame at 12:15 a.m. You won't be defenseless, though you'll gain access to powerful vampire abilities and weapons that will help you turn the tide.Lighting up the night sky, a high-power Atlas 5 rocket streaked away from Florida early Wednesday carrying a $1.8 billion military communications satellite built to withstand the most powerful jamming and even the effects of a nearby nuclear blast to ensure steady communications with troops around the world. Naturally, you can also raid other players' castles (or they could raid yours), so other vampires are another threat you'll need to be aware of. You'll also need to protect your castle from external threats, so you'll need to be on your toes to make sure you're not caught unawares by enemies. It's a vampire survival game in which you must build and maintain your vampiric domain while also venturing to nearby settlements to hunt for food (i.e. If you're new to the V Rising coven, allow me to explain. Either way, we'll get more information about upcoming V Rising updates "soon", so watch out for that. Stunlock does, however, acknowledge that players are interested in console ports, so who knows when we get closer to the 1.0 release, we may well see console versions on the horizon.
#Atlas v rising Pc#
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like those new and exciting things include a V Rising console port, because the devs say they're focused on improving the game on PC right now.
The devs aren't going back to sleep in their coffins after achieving this milestone rather, they're hard at work on "new and exciting things" for V Rising. Of course, this is far from the end for V Rising. 2.5 million V Rising players can't be wrong, eh?
