As with the Delta IV, either a 4m or 5m fairing is used to shroud the payload, and vehicles are defined by the number of solids and the size of the payload fairing. Program requirements for the EELV program, including reliability, accuracy, and standard interface, are specified in the EELV Capability Production Document (CPD), validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in 2016. SpaceX and ULA were the two vendors selected via the competition to supply launches to the US military in the 20222027 timeframe. Semantic Scholar's Logo.

These load factors, as shown in Table 1, represent a set of accelerations that The Atlas V family is capable of carrying payloads of 8,900 kg (19,620 lbs) to geosynchronous transfer orbit, and can lift 16,034 kg (35,343 lbs) to low-Earth orbit. 0000461158 00000 n The program is managed by the Space Force's Space Systems Command (SSC), specifically the Assured Access to Space Directorate (SSC/AA),[1] in partnership with the National Reconnaissance Office. [8] Some of the reasons why assured access to space is a priority for the United States are stated in National Presidential Directive Number 40, which reads: Access to space through U.S. space transportation capabilities is essential to: The United States, therefore, must maintain robust, responsive, and resilient U.S. space transportation capabilities to assure access to space. The US Space Force (USSF) plans 3034 launches during these five fiscal years. For example, in order to meet its projected reductions in life cycle costs, the EELV needed to capture at least 15 percent of the commercial market.

As of 2015 the EELV program was actively pursuing a competitive scenario for launch acquisitions, but the launch industry is currently undergoing numerous changes, and the makeup of the industry in the future is uncertain.

The Medium & Medium-Plus vehicles use a single Common Booster Core (CBC), while the Heavy variant uses three CBCs. As of 2019, the first flight has been stated by NGIS to be expected in 2021.
