"Final Launch: ULA's Delta IV Heavy NROL-70 Mission Prepares for Last Flight"
TL;DR
United Launch Alliance's Delta IV Heavy is set to make its final flight, concluding over three decades of missions primarily for the United States government. The heavy variant, consisting of three Delta rockets, will carry a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office. The retirement of the Delta IV is attributed to the introduction of the more cost-effective Vulcan rocket, marking the end of an era for United Launch Alliance as it transitions to new launch capabilities.
