In today's news from Florida, ULA launched an Atlas V 551 carrying a third batch of Amazon Kuiper Internet satellites. The Atlas V is a non-reusable rocket using a Russian 2-chamber main engine burning high-grade kerosene with liquid oxygen. Five add-on solid fuel boosters provide additional thrust while a Centaur second stage burns liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen. Launch was successful and the satellites reached orbit.
