The resulting conceptual heavy-lift vehicle was called "Atlas Phase 2" or "PH2" in the 2009 Augustine Report. An Atlas V PH2-Heavy (three 5 m stages in parallel; six RD-180s) along with Shuttle-derived, Ares V and Ares V Lite, were considered as a possible heavy lifter concept for use in future space missions in the Augustine Report.

The following chart shows the number of launch systems developed in each country, and broken down by operational status. Rocket variants are not distinguished; i.e., the Atlas V series is only counted once for all its configurations 401–431, 501–551, 552, and N22.
The OSTF complex also included silos for launching Atlas E and F missiles; coffin types for the former and elevator types for the latter. [3] Atlas testing began rather ignominiously when Missile 27E exploded at liftoff on 7 June 1961, putting OSTF-1 (also designated Site F or 576 Foxtrot) [3] out of use for seven months. The facility went on ...
Atlas V [a] is an expendable launch system and the fifth major version in the Atlas launch vehicle family. It was designed by Lockheed Martin and has been operated by United Launch Alliance (ULA) [b] since 2006. It is used for DoD, NASA, and commercial payloads. It is America's longest-serving active rocket.
Atlas II was a member of the Atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful Atlas missile program of the 1950s. The Atlas II was a direct evolution of the Atlas I , featuring longer first-stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.
