Final Launch of Delta IV Heavy Rocket

Over the decades, Delta IV Heavy rockets have been instrumental in space exploration. Starting in 1960, the Delta Rocket family, with its 400-plus missions, saw the latest Delta IV Heavy rocket lift off last week, marking its final journey.

As part of the secretive reconnaissance missions of the US Space Force, under the control of the United Launch Alliance (ULA), the last launch took place from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
