Enjoy.


Nice video.
I'm a little confused about the designation. I'm not aware of any Atlas that
was called an Atlas 5.
The current model (which this obviously isn't) is the Atlas V.
The early ones were Atlas A-H.



You'll have to ask the Air Force about how they designated what.
Here's its entry on Wikipedia. Hope that clears this up.
