CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (WSVN) — It’s nearly the end of an area, as a United Launch Alliance rocket blasted off on one of its final missions from Cape Canaveral.

The Delta IV rocket carried a new national security satellite, Thursday morning.

Next year, Delta IV’s launch will be the last for this class.

Several different versions have taken intelligence-gathering payloads to outer space since the 1960s.
