"Short" Atlas-Centaur (video)
Hello All,
I just came across *this* www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpId8SquVOY video of the launch of the very first Atlas-Centaur, which also shows it on the launch pad (LC-36A, I think). This test vehicle, which was painted with a roll pattern, was quite short, apparently having only the conical (without the rear cylinder section) top portion of the payload fairing (much like [if not the same ones] the payload fairing used on the Titan IIIAs and the early Titan IIICs).
