After twenty-nine years of reliable service, United Launch Alliance’s veteran Delta II rocket made its final flight Saturday with the deployment of the ICESat-2 climate research satellite for NASA. Delta lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 06:02 Local Time, beginning a mission that also closed the final chapter in the 60-year-long history of the Thor missile, from which Delta II’s first stage evolved.
