A stitched #composite #image of a United Launch Alliance #Delta IV Heavy #rocket at SL-37B.
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.

An early morning #photograph of the #sunrise next to LC-37B and the #Delta IV #rocket waiting on its launch pad to carry a heavy payload to orbit.
The #DeltaIVHeavy is a rocket with three first stages attached side-by-side. The two outer #boosters burn at full throttle, while the center engine remains at low throttle until the outer two cores separate, then it throttles back up.

A United #Launch Alliance #Delta IV Heavy lifts off carrying the NROL-15 payload to orbit.
The #Delta4Heavy has 3 Common Booster Cores (#CBC) attached side by-side, each with one RS-68 #rocket #engine.
The #DeltaRocket is launching from SLC-37B at Cape #Canaveral Air Force Station, carrying NROL-15, a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office (#NRO) that is widely known be be an ADVANCED ORION/Trumpet #SIGINT #satellite.

#SpaceSaturday: A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy #rocket #launched #NASA’s #Orion #spacecraft on Exploration Flight Test 1, or #EFT1.
The Delta IV Heavy was chosen as the post powerful and compatible rocket for the Orion test capsule, since its upper stage, the Delta Cryogenic Second Stage, serves as the basis for the Interim Cryogenic Upper Stage on the #SLS #rocket.
The #Delta4 could lift the capsule into a trajectory that would cause it to re-enter the atmosphere at similar velocities as a lunar return, proving the heat shield, parachutes, and landing systems.
It also verified the #LaunchAbortSystem disposal and fairing jettison.
