ATLAS V Pantone 661 Pantone Black 6 A United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 launch vehicle will deliver Pantone 459 the CLIO spacecraft to orbit for Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. Liftoff will occur from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL. Pantone Cool Gray 10 Pantone 286 Since 1957, the Atlas rocket has been an integral part of the United The ULA team is proud to launch the CLIO mission on an Atlas V 401, States’ space program, supporting national defense missions, from Space Launch Complex 41, for Lockheed Martin Space Systems launching Mercury astronauts to orbit, and sending spacecraft to the Company. farthest reaches of the solar system. Over its nearly six decades, the The ULA team is focused on attaining Perfect Product Delivery for the Atlas booster has undergone a series of continuous improvements, CLIO mission, which includes a relentless focus on mission success (the culminating in the current Atlas V Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle perfect product) and also excellence and continuous improvement in (EELV). Designed in partnership with the U.S. Air Force, the modu- meeting all of the needs of our customers (the perfect delivery). lar design of the Atlas V allows for multiple configurations to meet specific customer requirements. We sincerely thank the entire team, which consists of Lockheed Martin, their U.S. government sponsor, ULA, and major suppliers of ULA. All Atlas V launch vehicles consist of a common core booster first stage, a Centaur second Go Atlas, Go Centaur, Go CLIO! stage, and either a 4-m-diameter or a 5-m-diameter payload fairing. To accommodate larger spacecraft requiring additional thrust at liftoff, one to three solid rocket boosters (SRB) can be added to the Atlas V 4-m vehicle, while the Atlas V 5-m vehicle can support up to five SRBs. Flexibility, reliability and 100% mission success are the hallmarks of the Atlas V system, Jim Sponnick making it the launch vehicle of choice for the full range of customer requirements. Vice President, Atlas and Delta Programs Payload Fairing (PLF) The CLIO spacecraft is encapsulated in the 4-m (14-ft) diameter large payload fairing (LPF). The LPF is a bisector (two-piece shell) fairing consisting of aluminum skin/stringer construction with vertical split-line longerons. The vehicle’s height with the PLF is approximately 189 ft. Centaur The Centaur second stage is 10 ft in diameter and 41.5 ft in length. Its propellant tanks are constructed MISSION OVERVIEW of pressure-stabilized, corrosion resistant stainless steel. Centaur is a liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen- (cryogenic-) fueled vehicle. It uses a single RL10A-4-2 engine producing 22,300 lb of thrust. The cryo- genic tanks are insulated with a combination of helium-purged insulation blankets, radiation shields, and spray-on foam insulation (SOFI).
