  • The United Launch Alliance's (ULA's) Delta IV heavy-lift rocket launched the NROL-70 mission from Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on April 9 at 12:53 p.m. EDT (1653 GMT). It was the final launch for the historic rocket. Full Story: www.space.com/final-delta-4-h...
    Aboard the Delta Heavy IV rocket was a classified payload launched on behalf of the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The NRO rarely discloses the nature or capabilities of its spy satellites, and this particular mission offers no exception.

    Farewell Delta IV Heavy, most metal of rockets, last scion of Thor, final heir to the proud Delta lineage. You will not soon be forgotten.

      Just the giant exhaust plumes were unique compared to a lot of other rockets.

    We’re all gonna miss that incredible fireball the Delta 4 Heavy creates before liftoff. Goodbye Delta 4 Heavy.

      I certainly missed the fireball in this live stream, with the camera focused close in on the engines while two different countdowns were being read, I completely missed that fireball.

    I would ***MUCH*** rather hear the actual launch controllers instead of the announcer. Folks who tune in to watch these launches are much more interested in the actual comms than in the announcers talking over them, ESPECIALLY during station polling (go calls for launch), final countdown, and the editorial summary at liftoff.

    6:48-6:49 at .25% you see a couple pieces of debris rotating out of frame, more towards the right of ULA logo. I cant imagine how much debris is up there just whipping around faster than cars on the freeway. Any one of those could obliterate a soft target, or take out a hard target.

      It’s normal for them to provide live coverage, even of ‘secret’ missions. A rocket launch is hard to hide. What’s actually secret is what’s inside the payload fairing-hence why they do not show any camera views of that on these missions. We can speculate from various clues that the payload on this mission was an Orion-class electronic reconnaissance satellite, but its precise capabilities and specifications are unknown-as was the goal.

    • @carcinogen60yearsago

      Then what was the satellite used for?
      If it's so obvious to you, then you should be able to figure it out, right?
      You can't tell me a single fact about this satellite.
      Do you know what's inside an opaque box before opening it?
