Avian | The result of a comprehensive survey of a large geographical area that maps the occurrence (or occurrence and relative abundance) of species in subdivisions of that area. An atlas is usually based on a grid of fixed intervals of distance or degrees latitude and longitude. It is restricted to a particular season of the year, usually the breeding season (Ralph 1981:577). (references) |

Literature | Atlas King of Mauritania in Africa, fabled to have supported the world upon his shoulders. Of course, the tale is merely a poetical way of saying that the Atlas mountains prop up the heavens, because they are so lofty. We call a book of maps an "Atlas," because it contains or holds the world. The word was first employed in this sense by Mercator, and the title-page of his collection of maps had the figure of Atlas with the world on his back.

An atlas is a collection of maps, traditionally bound into book form, but also on CD-ROM. As well as geographic features and political boundaries, many often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. The name "atlas" derives from the custom of adorning the cover or title page of such collections with a picture of the Atlas of Greek mythology holding the Earth on his shoulders.This usage of the term dates from Gerardus Mercator's Atlas Sive Cosmographicae (Atlas, or Description of the Universe) of 1585-1595. The earliest atlas was Ptolemy's Geography of c. 150 CE. The first modern atlas was issued by Abraham Ortelius on May 20, 1570.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In Greek mythology, Atlas ("he who dares or suffers") was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the nymph Clymene, and brother of Prometheus. He was the father of the Hesperides, Maera, the Hyades, Calypso and the Pleiades. Because Atlas fought in the war between the Titans and the gods of Mount Olympus, Zeus punished him with the burden of carrying the heavens and Earth upon his shoulders. Atlas was turned to stone by Perseus using Medusa's head in the place where the Atlas mountains now stand, after he refused to give Perseus shelter. He is also known as the king of Atlantis.
As part of his Twelve Labors, the hero Heracles tricked Atlas into retrieving some of the golden apples of the Hesperides for him by offering to hold the heavens for a little while. Upon his return with the apples, Atlas decided not to take the heavens back from Heracles. Heracles tricked him again by agreeing to take his place if he would only take the sky again for a few minutes so Hercules could rearrange his cloak as padding on his shoulders. Atlas agreed and Hercules left.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Atlas, first tested in 1959, was the United States' first successful ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile). It was a multistage, liquid-fueled (liquid oxygen and kerosene) rocket, with three engines which produced 162,000kg of thrust.
Though never used in combat, it was used as the expendable launch system for the Mariner space probes used to study Mercury, Venus, and Mars (1962-1973); and to launch all but the first two Mercury program missions (1962-1963). The Mercury-Atlas missions resulted in the first American to orbit the earth (Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr) in February of 1962. (Major Yuri A. Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, was the first human to orbit in April of 1961.) Atlas launched the Agena Target Vehicles used during the Gemini program. Direct Atlas descendants continue to be used as satellite launch vehicles to this day.
Atlas was suggested for use by the United States Air Force in what became known as Project Vanguard. This suggestion was ultimately turned down, however, as Atlas would not be operational in time and was seen by many as being too heavily connected to the military for use in the US's IGY satellite attempt.
Atlas got its start in 1946 with the award of a Army Air Forces research contract to Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (Convair) for the study of a 1500-5000 mile range nuclear armed missile. This was the MX-774 or Hiroc project. The contract was canceled in 1947 but the Army Air Forces allowed Convair to launch the three almost-completed research vehicles using the remaining contract funds. The three flights were only partially successful. However they did show that balloon tanks, and gimballed rocket engines were valid concepts.
Atlas is almost unique in its use of balloon tanks, which is a construction technique involving fuel tanks made of very thin stainless steel with minimal or no rigid support structures. Pressure in the tanks privides the structural rigidity required for flight. An Atlas rocket will collapse under its own weight if not kept pressurized. The only other known use of balloon tanks at the time of writing is the Centaur rocket high-energy upper-stage.
Atlas is further unique due to its odd staging system. Most rockets stage by dropping both engines and fuel tanks. Atlas drops just two of its three engines and no fuel tanks. Rockets using this technique are sometimes called stage and a half boosters. This technique is made possible by the extreme light weight of the balloon tanks. The tanks make up such a small percentage of the total booster weight that the weight penalty of lifting them to orbit is not offset by the technical and weight penalty required to throw half of them away mid-flight. Depending on how you look at it, this makes Atlas a Single stage to orbit booster (though most call it a 1.5 stage to orbit).
The newest version of Atlas, the Atlas V, no longer uses the problematic balloon tanks nor 1.5 staging, but incorporates a rigid framework for it's first stage booster much like the Titan family of vehicles. The Atlas V is an Atlas in name alone as it contains little Atlas technology.

The Atlas mountains are a mountain system in northwest Africa extending about 2400km through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and including The Rock of Gibraltar. The highest peak is Toubkal, with an elevation of 4165 m (13,665 ft), located in southwestern Morocco. The Atlas ranges separate the Mediterranean & Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert.
