** Atlas V ( 2002 – Present )

It launched in April 2009 on an Atlas V rocket from Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

This anticipated market demand did not materialize, but both the Delta IV and Atlas V EELVs remain in active service.

Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne engines powered the Space Shuttle, and the company also supplies booster engines for Delta II rockets and boosters and upper stage engines for Atlas III and V and Delta IV rockets.

* June 15, 2007: the engine in the Centaur upper stage of an Atlas V shut down early, leaving its payload — a pair of National Reconnaissance Office ocean surveillance satellites — in a lower than intended orbit.

, derivatives of the Centaur-3, with either one or two RL-10A4-2 engines, continue to be used as the upper stage of the Atlas V EELV rocket, the successor of the Titan-Centaur configuration.

The Centaur has a planned evolutionary upgrade which changes the tank diameter to 5. 4 m and increases propellant load from 1. 5 to 6. 0 times that of the present Atlas V configuration.

Performance levels for the Evolved Centaur based Phase 1 vehicles envelope all Atlas V capabilities.

* United Launch Alliance ( ULA )-Delta IV And Atlas V

Vandenberg AFB is a Department of Defense space and missile testing base, with a mission of placing satellites into polar orbit from the West Coast, using expendable boosters ( Pegasus, Taurus, Minotaur, Atlas V and Delta IV ).

Among the parade of newer space boosters are the Titan IV ( March 1991 ), Taurus ( March 1994 ), Pegasus ( April 1995 ), Delta II ( February 1996 ), Atlas IIAS ( December 1999 ), Minotaur ( 2000 ), and beginning in late 2005, the Falcon 1, the Delta IV, and Atlas V vehicles.

The Atlas V was developed by Lockheed Martin as part of the US Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle ( EELV ) program.

The Atlas V launches from Space Launch Complex 3-E.

Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services markets the Atlas V to government and commercial customers worldwide.

The first Atlas V launch vehicle to fly from SLC 3-E was launched on March 19, 2008 for the National Reconnaissance Office.

All Atlas V launches from Vandenberg have been successful.

Heavy variants of Angara will be simpler and cheaper than Proton ( and like the new Atlas V rocket, will not use hypergolics ; instead, it will use the same RP-1 fuel as that used on the Soyuz rocket ).

* Atlas V Heavy

It was used as an upper stage on Atlas, Thor, Thorad and Titan IIIB rockets, and considered for others including the Space Shuttle and Atlas V. A total of 365 Agena rockets were launched between February 28, 1959 and February 1987, when the last Agena D was launched.

Launch Complexes SLC-37 and SLC-41 were modified to launch EELV Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles, respectively.

Meeting of the representative of the World Jewish Congress, Alex Easterman, with the Pasha of Marrakesh and Lord of the Atlas, Thami El Glaoui | T ' hami el Mezourai El Glaoui, at the palace of the Pasha in Marrakesh, Morocco, January 1954The WJC leadership also kept in close touch with the leaders of the Moroccan independence movement, including the exiled sultan of Morocco, Mohammed V, who insisted that an autonomous Morocco would guarantee the freedom and equality of all its citizens, including access of non-Muslims to public administration.
