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. It was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit. Sixty-three launches of the Atlas II, IIA and IIAS models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the Atlas II a highly reliable space launch system. The Atlas line was continued by the Atlas III, used between 2000 and 2005, and the Atlas V has just been retired (ULA has stop selling launches, as the Vulcan will soon take over).

Wow, it looks like you're very productive! But the crafts are still beautiful.
@BohemianJohnson I’ve actually have done work on these before I uploaded the first one. Also, the Atlas II is just stretched and has new engines with an uprated Centaur upper stage. The IIAS adds the option for four Castor solid rocket motors. The IIAR (R for the Russian RD-180 engine), was later renamed Atlas III.
