LR-89-NA-7
Rocketdyne LR-89-NA-7 is the MA-5 Atlas booster-engine variant, used as the two-engine booster set. NASA's Atlas characteristics identify the MA-5 propulsion system as two Rocketdyne YLR-89 booster engines at 667,200 N each, paired with a YLR-105 sustainer; this record isolates the LR-89-NA-7 booster variant while preserving its RP-1/liquid-oxygen identity.
