  • atlas 5 bitches!!! u know.

    

  • I had to watch a 1 minute commercial to watch 1:34 of video... sweet.

  • @brentsrx7

    Um, no. The Delta IV Heavy is 22,950KG to LEO. The Altas V HLV is 29,420KG to LEO. The Falcon 9 Heavy can do 32000KG.

  • @EvilxMerlin Delta can haul much more then Atlas

  • OH and the Saturn V could lift about 40,000 lbs more than the Energia could, at 262,000 lbs. So the Russians couldn't match the US back then, and they still cannot now.

  • @arlik100

    Considering it is:

    1. No longer around

    2. Out of two launches had one failure.

    Again I say there is still NO Russian heavy lift vehicle that can do what the Altas V can do.

  • @EvilxMerlin consider Russian Energia rocket (which lifted Buran in 1988):

    Capacity

    Payload to

    LEO 100,000 kg (220,462 lb)[1] (200,000 kg (Vulkan))

    Payload to

    GSO 20,000 kg (44,093 lb)[1]

  • @arlik100

    You are missing the point. There is still NO Russian heavy lift vehicle that can do what the Atlas V can do.

  • @EvilxMerlin my friend, Atlas V is propelled by Russian made RD-180 engines produced in Russia and being bought by US in Russia (more then 20 have been already delivered) - google about it - so your comparisons here are useless as you compare one Russian technology to another Russian technology...

  • @ti994apc

    Um, the Atlas V can put into LEO 21490 to 64860 lbs. The Soyuz-2 max is 17000 lbs. Even Russia's Zenit can "only" put a max of 35000lbs into LEO. The Proton, 45000 lbs. In fact there is nothing currently flying that can lift what the Atlas V can, until the Angara 7 flies... if it ever flies.
