Through a sequence of links I can no longer remember, I came across something really neat: the Atlas V Launch Services User’s Guide. 400 pages of real rocket numbers. The most interesting thing so far, they have a launch configuration with a single SRB? Those engines must have a mean gimbal!

Hopefully this isn't a repost. Didn't see anything in a quick search.

Edit: LOLZ! In regards to the navigation system:

Both of these maneuvers are implemented through the launch-day wind-steering system, Automatic Determination and Dissemination of Just Upgraded Steering Terms (ADDJUST) which enhances launch availability by reducing wind-induced flight loads and engine deflections.

Someone has a sense of humor.
