The basic concept of the Atlas system was proven in its first flight on June 11, 1957, followed over the years by the launching more than five hundred vehicles including the Pioneer, Ranger, Mariner, and Surveyor. Many payloads were sent into orbit as detachable sections of Atlas missiles. The E-2 launched the world's first communications satellite in 1958, put the first American into orbit in 1962, and was responsible for sending many other notable payloads into space.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-landmark-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/atlas" hreflang="en">Atlas</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/space-0" hreflang="en">Space</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/booster-0" hreflang="en">Booster</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/air-force-0" hreflang="en">Air Force</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/launch-vehicle-0" hreflang="en">Launch Vehicle</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/e-2-0" hreflang="en">E-2</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/icbm-0" hreflang="en">ICBM</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/ballistic-missle-0" hreflang="en">Ballistic Missle</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/convair-0" hreflang="en">Convair</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/sm-65a" hreflang="en">SM-65A</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-credit field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Credit</div> <div class="field__item">All 3 images are Public Domain</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Caption</div> <div class="field__item">A compilation of three successful launches vehicles in action.
