It was developed by Lockheed Martin and has been operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA){{efn|ULA is a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing.}} since 2006. Primarily used to launch payloads for the United States Department of Defense, NASA, and commercial customers, Atlas V is the longest-serving active rocket in the United States.
Each Atlas V vehicle consists of two main stages. The first stage is powered by a single Russian-made RD-180 engine that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen. The Centaur upper stage uses one or two American-made Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10 engines that burn liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Strap-on solid rocket boosters (SRBs) are used in several configurations. Originally equipped with AJ-60A SRBs, the vehicle switched to Graphite-Epoxy Motor (GEM 63) boosters beginning in November 2020, except for flights in the Boeing Starliner program. Standard payload fairings measure either {{cvt|4.2|m|abbr=on}} or {{cvt|5.4|m|abbr=on}} in diameter, with multiple available lengths.<ref name="atlasvuserguide20102">{{cite web |date=March 2010 |title=Atlas V Launch Services User's Guide |url=http://www.unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514051638/http://www.unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf |archive-date=May 14, 2013 |access-date=December 4, 2011 |publisher=United Launch Alliance |location=Centennial, Colorado}}</ref>

== Vehicle description == The Atlas V was developed by Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services (LMCLS) as part of the U.S. Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and made its inaugural flight on August 21, 2002. The vehicle operates from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). It also operated from SLC-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base until 2022. LMCLS continued to market the Atlas V to commercial customers worldwide until January 2018, when United Launch Alliance (ULA) assumed control of commercial marketing and sales.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2009/1111_ss_cls.html|title=Lockheed Martin Ready For Launch Of Intelsat 14 Spacecraft |date=November 11, 2009|publisher=Lockheed Martin|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111217062420/http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2009/1111_ss_cls.html|archive-date=December 17, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Messier |first1=Doug |title=United Launch Alliance Assumes Marketing and Sales for Atlas V from Lockheed Martin|url=http://www.parabolicarc.com/2018/01/22/united-launch-alliance-assumes-marketing-sales-atlas-lockheed-martin/|website=parabolicarc.com|date=January 22, 2018 |publisher=Parabolic Arc|access-date=July 19, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719203417/http://www.parabolicarc.com/2018/01/22/united-launch-alliance-assumes-marketing-sales-atlas-lockheed-martin/|archive-date=July 19, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
=== Atlas V first stage === {{main|Common Core Booster}}
The Atlas V first stage, the Common Core Booster (not to be confused with the Delta IV's Common Booster Core), is {{cvt|3.8|m}} in diameter and {{cvt|32.5|m}} in length. It is powered by one Russian NPO Energomash RD-180 main engine burning {{cvt|284450|kg}} of liquid oxygen and RP-1. The booster operates for about four minutes, providing about {{cvt|4|MN}} of thrust.<ref name=AVMissionGuide/> Thrust can be augmented with up to five Aerojet AJ-60A or Northrop Grumman GEM 63 strap-on solid rocket boosters, each providing an additional {{cvt|1.27|MN}} of thrust for 94 seconds.
The main differences between the Atlas V and earlier Atlas I and II family launch vehicles are: * The first stage tanks no longer use stainless steel monocoque pressure stabilized "balloon" construction. The tanks are isogrid aluminum and are structurally stable when unpressurized.<ref name=AVMissionGuide/> * Accommodation points for parallel stages, both smaller solids and identical liquids, are built into first-stage structures.<ref name=AVMissionGuide/> * The ''"1.5 staging"'' technique is no longer used, having been discontinued on the Atlas III with the introduction of the Russian RD-180 engine.<ref name=AVMissionGuide>{{cite web |url=http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf|title=Atlas V Launch Services User's Guide|date=March 2010|publisher=United Launch Alliance|pages=1-5 to 1-7|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130407233957/http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf|archive-date=April 7, 2013}}</ref> * The main-stage diameter increased from {{cvt|3.0|to|3.7|m}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ulalaunch.com/explore/blog/blog/2019/12/13/atlas-v-starliner-oft-by-the-numbers |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726110046/https://www.ulalaunch.com/explore/blog/blog/2019/12/13/atlas-v-starliner-oft-by-the-numbers |archive-date=July 26, 2020 |title=Atlas V Starliner OFT: By the Numbers}}</ref>
=== Centaur III upper stage === {{main|Centaur (rocket stage)}}
The Centaur III upper stage uses a pressure-stabilized propellant-tank design and cryogenic propellants. The Centaur III was first introduced for use on the Atlas III and was stretched {{cvt|1.7|m}} relative to the Centaur II used on the Atlas II. It is powered by either one or two Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10 engines, each developing a thrust of up to {{cvt|101.8|kN}}. The inertial navigation unit (INU) located on the Centaur provides guidance and navigation for both the Atlas and Centaur and controls both Atlas and Centaur tank pressures and propellant use. The Centaur engines are capable of multiple in-space starts, making possible insertion into low Earth parking orbit, followed by a coast period and then insertion into GTO.<ref name="afsp200903">{{cite web |date=March 2009 |title=Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle |url=http://www.afspc.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=3643 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140427031225/http://www.afspc.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=3643 |archive-date=April 27, 2014}} {{PD-notice}}</ref> A subsequent third burn following a multi-hour coast can permit direct injection of payloads into geostationary orbit.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}
When the Atlas V was introduced, the Centaur III was alternatively called the Common Centaur, reflecting its use on both the Atlas III and V. {{As of|2006}}, the Centaur III had the highest proportion of burnable propellant relative to total mass of any modern hydrogen upper stage and hence can deliver substantial payloads to a high-energy state.<ref name="aip2006">{{cite web |last1=Birckenstaedt |first1=Bonnie |last2=Kutter |first2=Bernard F. |last3=Zegler |first3=Frank |year=2006 |title=Centaur Application to Robotic and Crewed Lunar Lander Evolution |url=http://unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/publications/CentaurApplicationtoRoboticandCrewedLunarLanderEvolution.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514023823/http://unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/publications/CentaurApplicationtoRoboticandCrewedLunarLanderEvolution.pdf |archive-date=May 14, 2013 |publisher=American Institute of Physics |page=2}}</ref>
=== Payload fairing === Atlas V payload fairings are available in two diameters, depending on satellite requirements. The {{cvt|4.2|m}} diameter fairing,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://spaceflight101.com/spacerockets/atlas-v-401/ |title=Atlas V 401 – Rockets|website=spaceflight101.com|access-date=April 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160405084515/http://spaceflight101.com/spacerockets/atlas-v-401|archive-date=April 5, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> originally designed for the Atlas II booster, comes in three different lengths: the original {{cvt|9|m}} version and extended {{cvt|10|and|11|m}} versions, first flown respectively on the AV-008/Astra 1KR and AV-004/Inmarsat-4 F1 missions. Fairings of up to {{cvt|7.2|m}} diameter and {{cvt|32.3|m}} length have been considered but were never implemented.<ref name="atlasvuserguide2010">{{cite web |date=March 2010 |title=Atlas V Launch Services User's Guide |url=http://www.unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514051638/http://www.unitedlaunchalliance.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf |archive-date=May 14, 2013 |access-date=December 4, 2011 |publisher=United Launch Alliance |location=Centennial, Colorado}}</ref>
A {{cvt|5.4|m}} diameter fairing, with an internally usable diameter of {{cvt|4.57|m}}, was developed and built by RUAG Space<ref name=ruag-fairings>{{cite web|url=https://www.ruag.com/en/products-services/space/launcher-structures-separation-systems/launcher-fairings-structures|title=Launcher Fairings and Structures|publisher=RUAG Space|access-date=May 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708190523/https://www.ruag.com/en/products-services/space/launcher-structures-separation-systems/launcher-fairings-structures|archive-date=July 8, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> in Switzerland. The RUAG fairing uses carbon fiber composite construction and is based on a similar flight-proven fairing for the Ariane 5. Three configurations are manufactured to support the Atlas V: {{cvt|20.7|m}}, {{cvt|23.4|m}}, and {{cvt|26.5|m}} long.<ref name=ruag-fairings/> While the classic {{cvt|4.2|m}} fairing covers only the payload, the RUAG fairing is much longer and fully encloses both the Centaur upper stage and the payload.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau/atlas-5.htm|title=Atlas-5 (Atlas-V)|publisher=Gunter's Space Page|access-date=August 5, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140427025907/http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau/atlas-5.htm|archive-date=April 27, 2014}}</ref>
== Upgrades == Many systems on the Atlas V have been the subject of upgrade and enhancement both prior to the first Atlas V flight and since that time. Work on a Fault Tolerant Inertial Navigation Unit (FTINU) started in 2001 to enhance mission reliability for Atlas vehicles by replacing the earlier non-redundant navigation and computing equipment with a fault-tolerant unit.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.militaryaerospace.com/computers/article/16710727/honeywell-awarded-52-million-atlas-v-contract|title= Honeywell awarded US$52 million Atlas V contract|publisher=Military & Aerospace Electronics|date=April 30, 2001|access-date=November 12, 2022}}</ref> The upgraded FTINU first flew in 2006,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf |title=Atlas V Launch Services User's Guide |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306002859/http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/docs/product_cards/guides/AtlasVUsersGuide2010.pdf| archive-date=March 6, 2012|date=March 6, 2012|publisher=United Launch Alliance}}</ref> and in 2010 a follow-on order for more FTINU units was awarded.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.space-travel.com/reports/Honeywell_Provides_Guidance_System_For_Atlas_V_Rocket_999.html |title=Honeywell Provides Guidance System For Atlas V Rocket|date=August 2, 2010|access-date=November 12, 2022|publisher=Space-Travel.com}}</ref>
In 2015, ULA announced that the Aerojet Rocketdyne-produced AJ-60A solid rocket boosters (SRBs) then in use on Atlas V would be superseded by new GEM 63 boosters produced by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems.

== Human-rating certification == Proposals and design work to human-rate the Atlas V began as early as 2006, with ULA's parent company Lockheed Martin reporting an agreement with Bigelow Aerospace that was intended to lead to commercial private trips to low Earth orbit (LEO).<ref name=nsf20070131>{{cite news|last=Gaskill|first=Braddock|title=Human Rated Atlas V for Bigelow Space Station details emerge|publisher=NASASpaceFlight.com|date=January 31, 2007|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080314112054/http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5008|archive-date=March 14, 2008}}</ref>
Human-rating design and simulation work began in earnest in 2010, with the award of US$6.7 million in the first phase of the NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) to develop an Emergency Detection System (EDS).<ref name=ula20100202>{{cite web |url=http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/pages/News.shtml#/45 |title=NASA Selects United Launch Alliance for Commercial Crew Development Program |date=February 2, 2010 |access-date=February 14, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207160150/http://www.ulalaunch.com/site/pages/News.shtml |archive-date=December 7, 2013}}</ref>
As of February 2011, ULA had received an extension to April 2011 from NASA and was finishing up work on the EDS.<ref name=nsj20110204>{{cite news|title=CCDev awardees one year later: where are they now? |url=http://www.newspacejournal.com/2011/02/04/ccdev-awardees-one-year-later-where-are-they-now/|access-date=February 5, 2011|newspaper=NewSpace Journal|date=February 13, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130605111613/http://www.newspacejournal.com/2011/02/04/ccdev-awardees-one-year-later-where-are-they-now/|archive-date=June 5, 2013}}</ref>
NASA solicited proposals for CCP phase 2 in October 2010, and ULA proposed to complete design work on the EDS. At the time, NASA's goal was to get astronauts to orbit by 2015.

== Versions == thumb|Atlas V family with asymmetric SRBs. thumb|upright=1.0|right|Atlas V 401
Each Atlas V configuration has a three-digit designation.
The first digit shows the diameter (in meters) of the payload fairing and has a value of "4" or "5" for fairing launches and "N" for crew capsule launches (as no payload fairing is used).
The second digit indicates the number of solid rocket boosters (SRBs) attached to the core of the launch vehicle and can range from "0" through "3" with the {{cvt|4|m}} fairing, and "0" through "5" with the {{cvt|5|m}} fairing. As seen in the first image, all SRB layouts are asymmetrical.
The third digit represents the number of engines on the Centaur stage, either "1" or "2". All of the configurations use the Single Engine Centaur, except for the "N22" which is only used on Starliner crew capsule missions, and uses the Dual Engine Centaur.
Atlas V has flown in eleven configurations:<ref>{{cite web |last=McDowell |first=Jonathan |date=October 28, 2010 |title=Jonathan's Space Report Launch Vehicle Database |url=http://www.planet4589.org/space/lvdb/launch/Atlas5 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211113416/http://www.planet4589.org/space/lvdb/launch/Atlas5 |archive-date=December 11, 2013 |access-date=December 11, 2010}}</ref> ; {{legend inline|#bbffbb|Active}} {{legend inline|#f9f9f9|Retired}} {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:1.00em; line-height:1.5em;" |- |+ Atlas V configurations |- !rowspan=2|Version !rowspan=2|Fairing !rowspan=2|SRBs !rowspan=2|Centaur<br/>engines !colspan=2|Payload, kg<ref name="guide">{{Cite web |title=Atlas V Mission Planner's Guide – March 2010 |url=http://www.lockheedmartin.com/data/assets/ssc/cls/AVUG_Rev11_March2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111217062316/http://www.lockheedmartin.com/data/assets/ssc/cls/AVUG_Rev11_March2010.pdf |archive-date=December 17, 2011 |access-date=November 19, 2011}}</ref> !rowspan=2|Launches<br/>to date !rowspan=2|Base<br/>price<ref name="rocketbuilder"/> |- !to LEO{{Efn-lr|At an inclination of 28.5°}} !to GTO |- | 401 | 4 m | – | 1 | 9,797 | 4,750 | 41 | US$109 million

Starting in 2016, ULA provided pricing for the Atlas V through its RocketBuilder website, advertising a base price for each launch vehicle configuration, which ranges from US$109 million for the 401 up to US$153 million for the 551.<ref name="rocketbuilder"/> Each additional SRB adds an average of US$6.8 million to the cost of the launch vehicle. Customers can also choose to purchase larger payload fairings or additional launch service options. NASA and Air Force launch costs are often higher than equivalent commercial missions due to additional government accounting, analysis, processing, and mission assurance requirements, which can add US$30–80 million to the cost of a launch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/13792816/united-launch-alliance-website-rocket-builder-atlas-v|title=United Launch Alliance unveils website that lets you price out a rocket "like building a car"|last=Grush|first=Loren|date=November 30, 2016|publisher=The Verge|access-date=December 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161201120251/http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/13792816/united-launch-alliance-website-rocket-builder-atlas-v|archive-date=December 1, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

On December 20, 2019, the first Starliner crew capsule was launched in Boe-OFT un-crewed test flight. The Atlas V launch vehicle performed flawlessly but an anomaly with the spacecraft left it in a wrong orbit. The orbit was too low to reach the flight's destination of ISS, and the mission was subsequently cut short.
=== Mission success record === In its 100 launches (as of June 2024), starting with its first launch in August 2002, Atlas V has achieved a 100% mission success rate and a 99% vehicle success rate.<ref>{{cite web|date=July 28, 2019 |title=ULA delays focused on protecting its 100 percent mission success rate|url=https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2019/07/ula-delays-protecting-100-percent-success/|access-date=August 30, 2020|website=nasaspaceflight.com}}</ref>
The first anomalous event in the use of the Atlas V launch system occurred on June 15, 2007, when the engine in the Centaur upper stage of an Atlas V shut down early, leaving its payload – a pair of NROL-30 ocean surveillance satellites – in a lower than intended orbit. The cause of the anomaly was traced to a leaky valve, which allowed fuel to leak during the coast between the first and second burns. The resulting lack of fuel caused the second burn to terminate 4 seconds early.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.losangeles.spaceforce.mil/?id=123059386|title=Air Force Issues Second Update Regarding Atlas V Centaur Upper Stage Anomaly Review|publisher=U.S. Air Force|date=July 2, 2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223105812/http://www.losangeles.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123059386|archive-date=February 23, 2014}} {{PD-notice}}</ref> Replacing the valve led to a delay in the next Atlas V launch.<ref name="valve">{{cite news |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/floridatoday/access/1723299381.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Sep+2%2C+2007&author=PATRICK+PETERSON&pub=Florida+Today&edition=&startpage=A.3&desc=Faulty+valve+pushes+back+Atlas+5+launch|title=Faulty valve pushes back Atlas 5 launch |newspaper=Florida Today|first=Patrick|last=Peterson|date=September 2, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025230355/https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/floridatoday/access/1723299381.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS%3AFT&date=Sep+2%2C+2007&author=PATRICK+PETERSON&pub=Florida+Today&edition=&startpage=A.3&desc=Faulty+valve+pushes+back+Atlas+5+launch|archive-date=October 25, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, the customer (the National Reconnaissance Office) categorized the mission as a success.<ref>{{cite press release|date=June 15, 2007|url=http://www.nro.gov/news/press/2007/2007-01.pdf|title=NRO satellite successfully launched aboard Atlas V|publisher=NRO|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217195710/http://www.nro.gov/news/press/2007/2007-01.pdf|archive-date=February 17, 2013}} {{PD-notice}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|date=June 18, 2007|url=http://www.nro.gov/news/press/2007/2007-02.pdf|title=NROL-30 launch update|publisher=NRO|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217191851/http://www.nro.gov/news/press/2007/2007-02.pdf|archive-date=February 17, 2013}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>
A flight on March 23, 2016, suffered an underperformance anomaly on the first-stage burn and shut down 5 seconds early. The Centaur proceeded to boost the Orbital Cygnus payload, the heaviest on an Atlas to date, into the intended orbit by using its fuel reserves to make up for the shortfall from the first stage. This longer burn cut short a later Centaur disposal burn.<ref>{{cite press release|date=March 24, 2016 |url=http://spaceflightnow.com/2016/03/24/atlas-5-rocket-forced-to-improvise-during-tuesdays-climb-to-orbit/|title=Atlas 5 forced to improvise during Tuesday's climb to orbit|publisher=Spaceflight Now|access-date=March 28, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328121830/http://spaceflightnow.com/2016/03/24/atlas-5-rocket-forced-to-improvise-during-tuesdays-climb-to-orbit/|archive-date=March 28, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> An investigation of the incident revealed that this anomaly was due to a fault in the main engine mixture-ratio supply valve, which restricted the flow of fuel to the engine.

===Orbital debris creation=== The mission success criteria used by ULA includes only delivering the payload to a correct, or at least acceptable, orbit.

== Replacement with Vulcan== {{main|Vulcan Centaur}}
In 2014, geopolitical and U.S. political considerations because of the Russian annexation of Crimea led to an effort to replace the Russian-supplied NPO Energomash RD-180 engine used on the first-stage booster of the Atlas V. Formal study contracts were issued in June 2014 to a number of U.S. rocket-engine suppliers.<ref name=sn20140917/> The results of those studies led to a decision by ULA to develop the new Vulcan Centaur launch vehicle to replace the existing Atlas V and the Delta IV.<ref>{{cite news |author=Gruss |first=Mike |date=April 13, 2015 |title=ULA's Next Rocket To Be Named Vulcan |url=http://spacenews.com/ulas-next-rocket-to-be-named-vulcan/ |publisher=SpaceNews}}</ref>

In September 2014, ULA announced a partnership with Blue Origin to develop the BE-4 LOX/methane engine to replace the RD-180 on a new first-stage booster. As the Atlas V core is designed around RP-1 fuel and cannot be retrofitted to use a methane-fueled engine, a new first stage was developed.
