🔚 The end of an era and the beginning of a new stage in space exploration.
After 6️⃣0️⃣ years of history, the Delta program came to an exciting conclusion with the last launch of the heavy Delta IV rocket by United Launch Alliance (ULA). 🚀
The rocket took off last Tuesday from Launch Complex-37 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, 🇺🇸 carrying the NROL-70 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office. 🔝 This launch marks the end of the Delta era and initiates the future of heavy transportation with ULA’s next-generation Vulcan rocket.
Mission NROL-70 was ULA’s successful 35th launch with the NRO, and the company looks forward to continuing to launch future national security space missions.
