Unlike earlier efforts to develop a new generation of space launch vehicles from a "clean sheet of paper," the EELV concept intended to capitalize on proven hardware found in the then current generation of DELTA II, ATLAS II/CENTAUR, and TITAN IV vehicles. [13] Boeing and Lockheed Martin were each awarded US$500 million for the final phase of the bid. The second stage (known as Centaur) is powered by the RL-10A engine. Boeing developed the Delta IV based around Common Booster Cores and the Delta Cryogenic Second Stage, while Lockheed Martin developed the Atlas V based around Common Core Boosters and the Centaur upper stage. Up to five solid rocket boosters can be added to augment performance. 2 0 obj Vehicles are defined by the number of solids and the width of the payload fairing. [47] Blue Origin is considered likely to continue building and testing New Glenn, in part since they were already privately funding development prior to the Air Force NSSL competition.
