American Orbital Launch Vehicles and Upper Stages

Orbital rockets and upper stages developed in the United States for lifting payloads into Earth orbit and beyond, from the Saturn V, the three-stage super heavy-lift rocket that took the Apollo missions to the Moon, to the Atlas V flown by United Launch Alliance and the Electron small-satellite rocket of Rocket Lab, and the proposed Advanced Cryogenic Evolved Stage upper stage. A vehicle or stage belongs here when its cited source calls it an American launch vehicle or upper stage. Reusable SpaceX vehicles have a group of their own beside this one.
