United Launch Alliance (ULA) sent one of their massive Delta IV Heavy rockets into the Florida skies on January 18, 2009 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 37B (SLC-37B) located in Florida. The rocket carried a classified payload to orbit for the National Reconnaissance Office (USA-202 / NROL-26) - Orion 6 / Mentor 4. The flight of NROL-26 was only the third mission that utilized the triple-bodied Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle. Photos courtesy of: Carleton Bailie
