Atlas V Launch (0 Comments) (link)
 Sunday, 20-November-2016  10:32:32 (GMT +10) - by Agg

If you're hungry for a space fix, Teddybear pointed out that the GOES-R weather satellite will launch on the back of an Atlas V rocket in a few minutes. GOES-R will be launched by United Launch Alliance (ULA), using an Atlas V rocket. The vehicle, which has tail number AV-069, will be flying in the 541 configuration, with a five-metre (16.4-foot) payload fairing, four AJ-60A solid rocket motors augmenting a Common Core Booster first stage, and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.

Watch on NASA TV or YouTube.
