Stub Mandrel Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) It's on wikipedia. They are launching a spy satellite. Apparently almost all delta-V missions have been military, presumably as it's an expensive option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_IV That said, it was used for an orion capsule test.
