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