Abstract:Launch vehicle performance continues to constantly improve, in large part to meet the demands of an increasing number of larger satellites. Current vehicles are very likely to be changed from last year's versions and are certainly not the same as ones from five years ago. In many cases this is true even though the commonly used name for a vehicle has not changed. This report will detail vehicle performance
improvements over the last four decades. Evolutionary paths will be traced for the Atlas and Delta launch vehicles. Patterns of growth and reliability of these vehicles are also examined.
