List of Thor and Delta launches (2010–2019)

Main article: List of Thor and Delta launches

As of October 2018, only the Delta IV remains in production. Single-stick versions of Delta IV was retired by United Launch Alliance (ULA) in 2019 and replaced by the ULA Atlas V, leaving the Delta IV Heavy the only remaining operational member of the Delta family, flying US national security missions.^[1]
