Seems than planetary science gets more coverage here but just decided to add this topic since an Atlas V 401 was just selected.

What can be inferred from this selection?

Someone needs to update the Wiki page about Atlas V's because it doesn't have an LEO capacity figure for the 401?

Reading some Delta II manifest lists - this sounds like it was pulled from the D2 manifest and moved to the Atlas V. Even the 401 will be an overperformance unless the design has bloated by a factor of 2 - is a secondary payload going to ride as well?

This might have been the last D2 launch - so it seems the end for that vehicle is coming sooner that we might have thought.
