ATLAS 411

Atlas V[a] is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas rocket family. It was originally designed by Lockheed Martin, now being operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Atlas V is also a major NASA launch vehicle.

United Launch Alliance (ULA) was formed on December 1, 2006 as a joint venture between The Boeing

Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC). ULA was created to provide reliable, cost-efficient
spacecraft launch services for the U.S. government and commercial customers.
ULA brings together two of the launch industry’s most experienced and successful teams that have
supported America’s presence in space for more than 50 years. Atlas and Delta launch vehicles have carried
over 850 payloads into space ranging from weather, telecommunications, and national security satellites that
protect and improve life on Earth, to deep space and interplanetary exploration missions that further our
knowledge of the universe.
Under ULA, Delta and Atlas rockets provide safe, cost-efficient, readily available and reliable access to
space for U.S. government and commercial missions, continuing the tradition of supporting strategic U.S.
space initiatives with advanced, robust launch solutions.
