6/3/2019 Group Watch: Atlas V Rocket Part of Historic Mission
An Atlas V rocket poised to make history recently emerged from the United Launch Alliance manufacturing facility in Decatur and began a trek aboard a unique cargo ship to the legendary launch pad at Cape Canaveral. It is set to launch Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner on the Crew Flight Test mission to the International Space Station in what could be the first time an American-made rocket has carried U.S. astronauts to the orbiting laboratory since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011.
