AV-030 From an unusual vantage point, an Atlas 5 rocket and the 200th Centaur upper stage lifts off from Cape Canaveral's oceanside Pad 41 with MUOS-1, a US Navy communications satellite and the heaviest Atlas payoad in history at over 15,000 lbs. The rocket flew in its biggest configuration ever, standing 21 stories tall and strapped with five solid rocket boosters. In this view from about 300 feet up and 1800 feet away stop the Atlas' assembly tower, the 206-foot vehicle begins to arc downrange. |

AV-029 Carrying the JUNO spacecraft and on its way to Jupiter, the ULA Atlas V rockets of the pad in a shower of flames,smoke and ice from Space Launch Complex 41. The first few seconds of a six year mission. In the future, this rocket will be taking humans into space. Reports of the death of the American space program are greatly exaggerated!

AV-029 Standing 58.3 m (191.2 ft) tall, the rocket departs the Vertical Integration Building carrying the JUNO spacecraft in her upper stage. This very reliable launch vehicle is taller than a Space Shuttle Stack which is 56.14 m (184.2 feet). It is planned to be modified to carry astronauts into space in the near future. Atlas V rockets are assembled vertically on a mobile launch platform. A "551" model with a 5 meter diameter payload fairing,5 solid rocket motors and 1 Centaur upper stage. |

AV-029 Juno is on its way to Jupiter! Flying in its biggest possible configuration for the second time, the Atlas V had five solid rocket boosters strapped on to propel NASA's Juno probe across the solar system to Jupiter. Just the second-ever Jupiter orbiter, it will arrive July 4, 2015. |
