#Starliner is expected to fly 🚀 atop the #AtlasV. #ULA ceased production of the rocket in 📆 2024. The vehicles have been allocated to customers, including the six needed for the remaining Starliner flights.

The Starliner faces an uncertain future after that. #DeltaIV is retired and no more are available, the #Falcon9 is owned by manned launch competitor #SpaceX, and the #Vulcan Centaur has not yet been human-rated, testing #Boeing would have to pay 💰 for 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Starliner#Launch_vehicle

Sometimes when #rockets cross through a colder layer of air, their exhaust condenses, creating a #contrail.
The high-level #winds blow the contrail around, with different wind directions at different altitudes, often producing a #corkscrew effect, as in this #DeltIVHeavy #launch from 2016.

After the retirement of NASA's space shuttle in 2011, the Delta IV Heavy became the most powerful operational rocket in the world, with a lift capacity of nearly 29 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. Only a handful of government-developed vehicles, including NASA's Saturn V lunar rocket and Russia's Energia vehicle, had more lift capacity, Ars Technica reports:

Once again, the final #DeltaIVHeavy #launch is upon us.
The #DeltaIV has always been, in my opinion, the classiest looking EELV.

The #Delta IV and its predecessors have made incredible contributions to #science and #spaceflight.

A #ThorDelta launched #Echo1, the first comm #satellite. #DeltaII launched missions to #Mars and began building the #GPS system.

The Delta family will be missed.

delta IV heavy's final launch has been scrubbed for today. expecting a 24-hour turnaround, i heard

#rocketry #ula #deltaiv

damn the last Delta IV launch has been scrubbed so 24 hours until the next attempt #delta4 #deltaIV #ula

There we go. Scrubbed for 24 hours due to a last minute fault. #Space #DeltaIV #Rockets

🚀🚀🚀 Final #DeltaIV #Launch #NROL70 was GO for launch at T-4, immediately went back into hold

Feeling like the window will close before things clear up. #Space #DeltaIV #Rockets

Waiting for the last launch of a Delta IV Heavy. Currently held at T-4m.

Well shit... you know you've been in the space biz a while when a booster you were present for its first operational launch is having its final lift today. #SemperSupra #DeltaIV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DajlB_jUPM

Goodbye all #Delta #rockets.

You did good.

Goodbye

An outdoor, night time photograph of a rocket on its launch pad. The rocket has a central cylinder that has orange foam on the bottom and white above. Two shorter cylinders are attached to the central orange core and are orange themselves except for white nose cones.
There is a white hanger in the background, and truss connections to the rocket from the right side of the image.

An outdoor, daytime photograph of a white rocket against a blue sky with other rockets in the background, all held in place by wires.
The central rocket is white and is a cylinder with a narrowing top, which turns into a narrow cylinder that has a large "bud" on the top.
Behind it are two other rockets, one white and one gray and white and black.
The center rocket has the words "UNITED STATES" written vertically in black letters.

An outdoor photograph of a teal colored rocket against the clear blue sky.
The rocket is a cylinder with teal pain, and has three smaller cylinders with nose cones attacked around it. Above the teal section is a white cone-like shape that holds the payload.

The #MobileServiceStructure stacks the #Delta IV #rocket on top its #launchpad and then rolls away, while the gray Fixed Umbilical Tower remains in place and supplies the #LaunchVehicle with propellant and other consumables until liftoff.

A vertically-oriented photograph taken outdoors and in the evening, of a white tower on the other side of a pond. On the left side of the white tower and a gray, truss tower is on the right.

Boeing leased the space at Launch Complex 37B for its #Delta IV #EELV.
The #DeltaIV is stacked on its launch pad using the Mobile Service Tower to stack the rocket
In front of it, the gray truss structure is the Fixed Umbilical Tower that provides propellant to the #DeltaRocket.
In this image, the MST is sitting on the pad with a single orange Delta Core inside.

#SLC37B #CCAFS #Photograph

A photograph of part of Space Launch Complex 37B. At the bottom of the frame are green trees and scrub land, above which power lines are strung. Behind them and reaching past the top of the frame is a white tower. The lower section is open and a single orange cylinder can be seen inside, which is a Delta 4 rocket core. The upper part of the building is closed in by doors that slide sideways to open. There are two tall truss towers on either side of the white tower, and a truss building just on its left side with connections reaching to the rocket inside the white tower.

The #DeltaIVHeavy was the most powerful launch vehicle in the US inventory at the time.
The payload is classified, but is widely believed to be a signals intelligence satellite.
