"Each Atlas V rocket uses a Russian-built RD-180 engine burning kerosene and liquid oxygen to power its first stage and an American-built RL10 engine burning liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to power its Centaur upper stage."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_V |

Re: Atlas V Rocket Carrying a Communications Spacecraft Launched
That was pretty cool video. One of these days I want to see something go into space in person. Awesome they did it at night, appears to be the best time to view it. |
