History

(From Wikipedia)
Delta II was an expendable launch system, originally designed and built by McDonnell Douglas. Delta II was part of the Delta rocket family and entered service in 1989. Delta II vehicles included the Delta 6000, and the two later Delta 7000 variants ("Light" and "Heavy"). The rocket flew its final mission ICESat-2 on 15 September 2018, earning the launch vehicle a streak of 100 successful missions in a row, with the last failure being GPS IIR-1 in 1997.

Warning, this rocket is kind of hard to fly due to its design, but it can reach a variety of stable orbits if flown correctly.

    Maybe, there is the simple heavy in the base game that is a stand in for Delta IV but I’d like to do a super detailed version.@FTAS
