A #ULA #Atlas V #rocket in the 551 configuration lifting off from LC-41 at #CCAFS carrying #NASA’s #Juno probe to #Jupiter.
Juno’s #JunoCam camera instrument was not intended as part of the original science payload, but has returned hundreds of images of Jupiter’s clouds with incredible detail.

SLC-41 was modified by #Lockheed Martin, who designed the #Atlas V #rocket, such as the one occupying the pad in this image; an #AtlasV with #NASA’s #RBSP probes to the magnetosphere.
#ULA has modified both the launch complex and Vertical Integration Facility to allow the new Vulcan rocket to use SLC-41.
The first Vulcan-Centaur launched occurred on January 28, 2024.
