List of Delta IV launches


Delta IV was a group of five expendable launch systems in the Delta rocket family introduced in the early 2000s. Originally designed by Boeing's Defense, Space and Security division for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program, the Delta IV became a United Launch Alliance product in 2006. The Delta IV was primarily a launch vehicle for United States Air Force military payloads, but was also used to launch a number of United States government non-military payloads and a single commercial satellite.
The Delta IV originally had two main versions which allowed the family to cover a range of payload sizes and masses: the Medium and Heavy. Since September 2019, only the Heavy remained active, with payloads that would previously fly on Medium moving to either the existing Atlas V or the forthcoming Vulcan. Retirement of the Delta IV occurred in 2024.
Delta IV vehicles were built in the ULA facility in Decatur, Alabama. Final assembly was completed at the launch site by ULA: at the horizontal integration facility for launches from SLC-37B pad at Cape Canaveral and in a similar facility for launches from SLC-6 pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
