Rocket: United Launch Alliance Atlas V 551
Atlas V is an expendable launch system within the Atlas rocket household. It was previously operated by Lockheed Martin and is now operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a three way partnership with Boeing. Every Atlas V rocket makes use of a Russian-built RD-180 engine burning kerosene and liquid oxygen to energy its first stage and an American-built RL10 engine burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to energy its Centaur higher stage. The RD-180 engines are supplied by RD Amross, whereas Aerojet Rocketdyne supplies each the RL10 engines and the strap-on boosters utilized in some configurations. The usual payload fairing sizes are 4 or 5 meters in diameter and of assorted lengths. Fairings sizes as giant as 7.2 m in diameter and as much as 32.3 m in size have been thought-about. The rocket is assembled in Decatur, Alabama and Harlingen, Texas.
