#NASA’s #MSL #Curiosity #rover was sent to #Mars aboard a #ULA #Atlas V #rocket in its 541 configuration. This meant that the rocket flew with a 5 meter diameter fairing, 4 solid rocket boosters, and a single engine on its #Centaur upper stage.
In the 5 meter fairing version, the Centaur is encapsulated in the payload fairing along with the payload.
Painted on the fairing are the logos for the #AtlasProgram and the United Launch Alliance, as well as the #US flag and the serial number, AV-028.

A United Launch Alliance #Atlas V #rocket sits on #pad LC-41, waiting to launch a communications #satellite for #NASA. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System allows NASA to maintain near-constant contact with its Earth-orbiting #spacecraft, including the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, and Antarctica, as well as #LaunchVehicles during ascent.
The Mobile Launch Platform’s umbilical towers obscure the brightly-lit rocket.
The satellited being launched is #TDRS-K, renamed TDRS-11 once operational.

A #ULA #AtlasV 4-meter fairing, hand-painted with the #NASA logo, the #RBSP program logo, the #UnitedStatesFlag, and the #AtlasProgram #logo. The 4-meter fairing provides less volume for payloads than the 5 meter version, but weighs less.
After launch, the Radiation Belt Storm Probes were renamed the Van Allen Probes once in orbit, and continue to study the Van Allen Belts and Earth’s magnetosphere.

Thank you all for indulging Fox 🦊 (the #photographer) in his silly #DialARocket day.
For a finale, here is a #photograph of the #AtlasV #rocket that carried #Curiosity, the #Mars Science Laboratory #rover. This #Atlas V is in its 541 configuration, with the wider 5 meter fairing decaled with #MSL's logo, sitting on the #MLP, having just arrived from the #VIF.

The modern #AtlasV #rocket has been called the #DialARocket for its ability to add capacity by adding solid rocket boosters like increasing steps on a #dial.
The “Dial” tops out at 5, with the #Atlas V 551, with a 5 meter fairing, 5 #SRBs, and 1 engine on the #Centaur upper stage. This is the #maximumrocket setting for the Atlas V dial. #ULA’s new #Vulcan rocket will have a dial that goes to 6.
#NASA’s #Juno #probe to #Jupiter was launched on an #AtlasV 551.
In this #photograph, it rams through a #cloud as the #spacecraft begins it trip to Jupiter.
