Background and objectives of US Air Force Advanced Ballistic Re-Entry Systems (ABRES)/Atlas program; Atlas boosters can be provided for low modification and launch service cost; they are equipped with all-inertial guidance systems; radio-inertial guidance may be installed to replace former; Atlas Series E/F boosters are programmed and scheduled to boost hypersonic glide vehicles with injection at altitudes of 25,000 ft at over 20,000 fps, to place various payloads into low-altitude circular orbits up to 150 nautical mi, or, by use of small solid motors and implementing Hohmann transfer, entire tank with 2000-lb payload can be placed into 300-nautical mi circular orbit.
