Atlas V Heavy - 500 S (HLV)
The Atlas V Heavy is an expendable heavy-lift launch vehicle, the largest type of the Atlas V family. It is the world's second highest-capacity launch vehicle in operation, behind SpaceX's Falcon Heavy
The Atlas V Heavy comes in 2 configurations, The 400 series (4 meter fairing) and The 500 series (5 meter fairing). This is the 500 series with the 5 meter diameter extended payload fairing with the 1st stage side-boosters arranged in a way to provide maximum efficiency over pitch and roll inputs.
The rocket is powered by a total of 7 engines out of which 6 engines on the 1st stage are RD-180 engines and the Centaur upper stage consists a single RL10C engine.
This rocket is capable of getting into orbit by a pre-programmed auto vizzy launch from the pad to orbit with the KAL launch vizzy programme.
Current orbit height is set to a circular ~500km orbit with the inclination set to 51.6 degrees.
Orbit height and inclination can be changed in the programme settings.
Availability of multiple cameras include:
1. Stage 1 external camera
2. Stage 2 Fairing separation camera
3. Centaur Engine Camera
4. 2 x Payload Cams
