Delta IV Heavy's Final Mission Launch April 12, 2024
April 9, 2024 - A Delta IV Heavy rocket launches from Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida ... marking the 16th and final mission of a Delta IV Heavy. The Delta IV Heavy was an expendable heavy-lift launch vehicle, the largest type of the Delta IV family. It was the world's third highest-capacity launch vehicle in operation. The new Vulcan rocket with American-made hardware, including Blue Origin and Aerojet Rocketdyne engines, is replacing the Delta IV Heavy that used Russian-made RD-180 engines.
