Photos: Thursday’s Atlas 5 rollout to launch pad

A collection of pad photos from the ULA Atlas 5 rocket launch of the X-37B spaceplane on its fourth mission taken by photographer Walter Scriptunas II.

The 27 Kuiper satellites will head to low Earth orbit on an Atlas 5 rocket flying in a 551 configuration, using five solid rocket boosters. ULA has not announced a new launch date following the scrub.

Here’s a look by the numbers of the previous Atlas 5 and Delta 4 flight histories and the manifests for both rockets.
