  EELV: The Next Stage of Space Launch
The final step in the Atlas evolution was the introduction of the 3.8-meter-diameter Common Core Booster, which forms the basic building block of all Atlas V vehicles.
The Atlas V core vehicles can be equipped with payload fairings measuring 4 or 5 meters in diameter; the 4-meter version can carry up to three solid motors, and the 5-meter version can carry up to five.
Atlas V vehicles carry a three-digit designation indicating the diameter of the payload fairing, the number of solid rocket boosters, and the number of Centaur engines.

 Lockheed Martin (General Dynamics) SLV-3/SB-1/SB-2 Atlas
Although the development of the SM-65 Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile did not commence until 1951, the "thin skin" tank, which had to be pressurised at all times, had been developed in the late forties for the Convair MX-774 missile.
The Atlas C was used for six flights between 23 December 1958 and 24 August 1959, none of which orbited a satellite but were for sub-orbital programmes to test the thin skinned fuel tanks and the radio command configuration.
The remainder of the Atlas D missiles were used as first stages in the Atlas configurations with the Agena, Able and Centaur upper stages although the actual disposition is not known.
