Atlas launching Bigelow Aerospace expandable modules, starting in 2014

ULA and Bigelow Aerospace announced this week that Bigelow would be launching its space station modules to space in 2014 from Cape Canaveral using ULA Atlas V launch vehicles.

My question is, is it okay with the editors working on this article to add even incomplete future launch information to the Atlas V launch table? For example, here we know the customer, and the year (of at least launch number 1 of n), but we don't yet know about the which specific launch payload will launch on which Atlas V rocket model and on what dates and in what order; at least we do not from this source. Other sources will confirm that the four major (non-crewed) portions of Space Complex Alpha are three expandable space habitat modules (two Sundancers, one BA-330), and a central (conventional) spacecraft structure that will serve as a docking node and contain the propulsion and solar arrays. So is it okay to begin to reflect this in the table with incomplete information? It does seem to fit into the broad rubric of verifiable future launches of several Atlas Vs. Cheers.

A ready-to-use-citation for the above claim is:

<ref name=ssn20110203>
{{cite news |last=Ward|first=Kenric |title=Nevada Aerospace Company Aims for Florida |url=http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/story/nevada-aerospace-company-aims-florida |accessdate=2010-02-08 |newspaper=Sunshine State News |date=2011-02-03 |quote=''the North Las Vegas firm announced it intends to launch its first Orbital Space Complex from the Cape in 2014.  The inflatable modules would be carried on United Launch Alliance Atlas V rockets. ... By 2017, Bigelow projects a need for 20 to 25 launches per year to send crew and cargo to commercial space stations.''}}</ref>

, should anyone want to use it to cite any part of this information in the article.

Based on no feedback from other editors, I think I'll just add to the table what we can verify, and leave to the future filling in the rest of the blanks. N2e (talk) 07:08, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just found this source, which states that ULA wants to keep launching (even the crewed spacecraft) from pad 41: Safety system tested for Atlas and Delta rockets That might be enough to add the launch pad to the four 2014-2015 launches I added to the table a couple of days ago. To be honest, I don't know much about the standard launch pad for Atlas V launches so will leave it to others to add the launch pad when they believe it sufficiently verifiable.

Simplify Chart?

I can't help but feel that the rocket variant chart, while informative, seems a but clustered. However I can't find a justification for simplifying it down to say, Atlas V 400; Atlas V 500; Atlas V N22, because that seems to loose the information that is the charts purpose. Any thoughts?
