After some delay due to technical issue, ULA is back to attempting to get its final Delta IV Heavy off the ground and firmly into retirement. Russia is also launching a decade old rocket that is still in development for some reason.<\/p>\n

                      ULA is back again for another launch attempt<\/h2>\n

                      Tuesday ULA has good weather and hopefully good equipment for the final launch of the Delta IV Heavy. Launching the NROL-70 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office, the payload is a classified spy satellite, most likely for signal intelligence.<\/p>\n

                      This will not just be the final launch of the Delta IV heavy but the entire Delta family of rockets, which dates back to the 1960s. Heritage of the Delta program will continue on with the Vulcan rocket, ULA\u2019s new entry into the market that lifted off for the first time earlier this year.<\/p>\n
