NASA has decided to use the Atlas V, with 4 strap-on solid rocket boosters to launch MSL. This is the same rocket that launched MRO (no solids) and New Horizons (5 solids).
Cost: $194.7 million, less than half the price of the Titan IV which would have been needed a few years ago. Rocky Mountain News article NASA press release |

Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum. Here is my first question: Aren't the Russian vehicles armed with explosives? Don't they have RSO? -------------------- --Atanas
