#Starliner is expected to fly 🚀 atop the #AtlasV. #ULA ceased production of the rocket in 📆 2024. The vehicles have been allocated to customers, including the six needed for the remaining Starliner flights.

The Starliner faces an uncertain future after that. #DeltaIV is retired and no more are available, the #Falcon9 is owned by manned launch competitor #SpaceX, and the #Vulcan Centaur has not yet been human-rated, testing #Boeing would have to pay 💰 for 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Starliner#Launch_vehicle

A #ULA #Atlas V #rocket in the 551 configuration lifting off from LC-41 at #CCAFS carrying #NASA’s #Juno probe to #Jupiter.
Juno’s #JunoCam camera instrument was not intended as part of the original science payload, but has returned hundreds of images of Jupiter’s clouds with incredible detail.

The #Atlas launch vehicle has evolved over the many years. The first Atlas SM-65 was a nuclear missile modified to launch spacecraft. Upper stages were added like Agena and Centaur.
The #skin of the #AtlasRocket was made of stainless #steel and thinner than a US #dime. The tanks could not support their own weight and had to be pressurized with gas to prevent them from crumpling.
This was true from Atlas, to Atlas-Centaur, to Atlas I, Atlas IIAS, and Atlas III.
The #AtlasV’s skin is made of isogrid aluminum; this being a type of machined aluminum that removed triangular sections from the inside of the tank walls, saving weight while preserving strength.
A copper-colored outer cladding is added.
