Atlas 5

An Atlas V 401 rocket launched the Lucy spacecraft on 2021-10-16 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Lucy launched aboard an Atlas V 401 rocket that used a 4.27 m. (4-m) large payload fairing.

GOES-T will launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket.

CesiumAstro launched and deployed its first two satellites featuring its communications payloads on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V-401 rocket.

CesiumAstro, Inc. launched and deployed the first of its two satellites featuring its communications payload aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V-401 rocket.

CesiumAstro launched its first two satellites aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V-401 rocket on 2021-09-29.

Lucy is scheduled to launch in the predawn hours of 2021-10-16 on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Landsat 9 mission launched on an Atlas V 401 configuration rocket that included a 13.7-foot (4-meter) Extra Extended Payload Fairing and stood 59.1 m (59 m) tall.

The Atlas V accelerated using 390,089 kg of thrust while performing pitch and yaw maneuvers off the launch pad to obtain the proper heading.

United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V 401 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 2:12 p.m. Eastern.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 11:12 a.m. PDT on 2021-09-27 carrying NASA’s Landsat 9 and multiple smallsat payloads.

An Atlas V launched the Landsat 9 satellite on 2021-09-27.

Northrop Grumman’s 10-foot-diameter composite heat shield provides higher performance with lower weight and protects the Atlas V first stage from engine exhaust temperatures in excess of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Northrop Grumman manufactured the attitude control propellant tank for the Atlas V at its Commerce, California facility.

The Atlas V delivered Landsat 9 into a near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit around Earth.

The Atlas V Landsat 9 mission used a dual-orbit profile that deployed Landsat 9 and the smallsats into two different orbits, enabling ULA’s first four-burn Centaur mission on an Atlas V rocket.

For the ULA Atlas V rocket, Northrop Grumman produced a 10-foot-diameter composite heat shield.

The Atlas V composite heat shield assembly was fabricated using advanced fiber placement manufacturing techniques at Northrop Grumman’s Iuka, Mississippi facility.
