The Atlas III (known as the Atlas II-AR (R for Russian) early in development [3]) was an American orbital launch vehicle, used in the years between 2000 and 2005.[4] It was developed from the highly successful Atlas II rocket and shared many components.[1] It was the first member of the Atlas family since the Atlas A to feature a "normal" staging method, compared to the previous Atlas family members, which were equipped with two jettisonable outboard engines on the first (booster) stage (with a single center engine serving as the sustainer). The Atlas III was developed further to create the Atlas V, which still flies to this day.
