Default Thor/Atlas-Burner series SLVs

Hello All,

I just found some interesting scale data on the USAF Thor-Burner 1 (also called Thor-Altair), Thor-Burner 2, and Thor-Burner 2A satellite launch vehicles on the Space Launch Report web site (see: www.spacelaunchreport.com -- I've also appended this URL to the sticky) and under the "Delta" entry on Encyclopedia Astronautica (see: www.astronautix.com ).

These vehicles were rather like the South Korean Naro-1, being big LOX/RP-1 first stages topped with relatively tiny solid propellant second stages. There was also an Atlas-Burner 2 and an Atlas-Burner 2A, and there is material on them in Encylopedia Astronautica (see: www.astronautix.com/lvs/atlas.htm ) and on Gunter's Space Page (see: http://space.skyrocket.de/ ).
