An Atlas V XYZ will have a 4.2-or-5.4-meter (14 or 18ft) diameter payload fairing, Y solid rocket boosters (0-5), and Z RL-10's on the Centaur upper stage (1-2). Vehicles are defined by the number of solids and the width of the payload fairing. Instead of setting those engines aside for national security launches, ULA rushed to assign them to non-national security launches that are unrestricted in their use of Russian engines. The EELV program is a funded U.S. Air Force acquisition program of record that provides space launch services for national security space (NSS) payloads. trailer
