Aether Heavy came to life when ULA decided to improve Aether Nyx for access to geostationary and lunar orbits. At first, improving on the original design of the Aether-Nyx launch vehicle did not work for the engineers at ULA. As a result, the project was almost put in jeopardy because of the time and resources being wasted. Finally after 2 years on the drawing board, an engineer suggested a design that followed suit to the Delta IV Heavy’s design. The design exceeded expectations in the simulator and construction began on the same day. Finally, Aether Heavy was Born.
