Delta IV

From Spacefaring




Delta IV was a group of five expendable launch systems in the Delta rocket family. It flew 45 missions from 2002 to 2024. Originally designed by Boeing's Defense, Space and Security division for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program, the Delta IV became a United Launch Alliance (ULA) product in 2006. The Delta IV was primarily a launch vehicle for military payloads for the United States Air Force (USAF), but was also used to launch a number of United States government non-military payloads and a single commercial satellite.
