The Atlas H MSD (Atlas H) was a two-to-three-stage American launch vehicle in the Atlas family, a specialised variant developed under the Atlas ICBM Program for classified military satellite deployments using a Multiple Satellite Dispenser. Standing 25.1 m tall with a 3.1 m diameter and a liftoff mass of 118 tonnes, it generated 1,630 kN of liftoff thrust.
