One of the four #SRBs on ULA's #Vulcan rocket experienced an anomaly during the launch this morning, but the payload reached its GEO destination nonetheless. #ULA statement:

While the privately-funded #Atlantis #Museum was being designed, it was decided to have a life-size replica set of Space Shuttle Solid #Rocket Boosters and External Tank in front of the museum facade.
After entering the museum, from under or around the massive #SRBs, guests are treated to a view of the replicas and the rest of the Visitors Complex as they walk up to see the introductory film.

The Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex built the Atlantis #Museum, they built life-size replicas of the Space Shuttle External Tank and Solid #Rocket Boosters directly in front of the building which held #SpaceShuttle Atlantis.

This #photograph was taken from below the #ExternalTank.

A #photograph of a United Launch Alliance #ULA #Delta4 Medium+ with 4 #SRBs and a 5 meter upper stage, waiting on LC-37B to #launch the fifth #WidebandGlobalSatcom #WGS #satellite.
The Mobile Service Structure, #MSS has moved back to reveal the #launch pad, the #rocket, and the Fixed Umbilical Tower.
The rocket itself is venting boiled-off liquid oxygen.

The modern #AtlasV #rocket, designed by #LockheedMarting and operated by the United Launch Alliance or #ULA, has been called the #DialARocket for its ability to add capacity by adding solid rocket boosters like increasing steps on a #dial.
The next-to-last stop on the “Dial” is the #Atlas V 541, with a 5 meter fairing, 4 #SRBs, and 1 engine on the #Centaur upper stage.
#NASA’s #Mars Science Laboratory #Rover #Curiosity #launched on a #ULA Atlas V 541.

The “Dial” starts at 0 with the #Atlas V 401, with a 4 meter fairing, 0 #SRBs, and 1 engine on the #Centaur upper stage. This version is said to take an extremely long time to clear the pad.

A #photograph of a United Launch Alliance #ULA #AtlasV #rocket in its 431 configuration, with a 4 meter diameter fairing, 3 solid rocket boosters #SRBs, and a single #RL10 engine on its #Centaur upper stage climbs up from its #launch pad.
This #photo was taken from #PlayalindaBeach in the Cape Canaveral National Seashore #CCNS, where a mile’s hike on the beach can bring you directly against the decrepit wire fence that marks the boundary between the parts of #MerrittIsland open to the public, and #NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s #KSC operational area.
The perspective in this image makes one of those fraying wires seem like an obstacle to the #rocket approaching from below.

At the end of :nasa: #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle program, the #Orbiters were given to museums for display to the public. #Discovery went to the #Smithsonian, #Atlantis remained in #Florida the #KSCVC / #VisitorsComplex at the privately-funded #AtlantisMuseuem.
#Endeavour was given to the #CaliforniaScienceCenter, which planned to display the orbiter as if ready for launch, attached to a spare #ExternalTank and replica #SRBs.
Here, Endeavour is in the #MateDemateDevice / #MDD. The MDD lifts the Orbiter up so that the #ShuttleCarrierAircraft, a #Boeing 747, can have the Shuttle mounted on its back to fly elsewhere, or be removed from the #SCA after being returned to #KSC after landing elsewhere.
The carrier aircraft is visible just under and behind Endeavour.
