A #photograph of a United Launch Alliance #ULA #AltasV #rocket #liftingoff with a #GPS BlockII-F from #SLC40 in #CapeCanaveral Air Force Station #CCAFS. This version of the Atlas V is carrying its payload in a 4 meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters, and a single RL-10 on its #Centaur upper stage.
The first stage’s Russian-made RD-180 #engine is beginning to develop its full #thrust, and slowly lifting the 401 off the pad.
