The Atlas rocket traces its ancestry back to the 1950's, it's been at the core of the US space capabilities, carrying historic payloads for NASA, the DoD and commercial partners.
This week ULA made it clear that it has no more Atlas rockets for sale as it move to transition to Vulcan which is not reliant on engines from Russia.

There are 29 launches left, which is likely more than some 'new' rockets, but this decade should see the final flights of Atlas, Delta and Proton - all historic vehicles with their roots in the cold war.
