On March 9, 2007, six satellites were launched into low earth orbit on this Atlas V launch vehicle from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).
The Atlas V rocket is an expendable launch vehicle built by the Lockheed Martin-Boeing joint venture United Launch Alliance. The rocket consists of a first stage powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen, and a liquid hydrogen�liquid oxygen powered Centaur upper stage. Some configurations also use strap-on booster rockets. Together these components are referred to as the Atlas launch vehicle.
