A delta rocket is a US rocket used to launch
many scientific and communications
satellites since 1960. It is based on the
Thor ballistic missile. Several increasingly
powerful versions produced as satellites
became larger and heavier. Solid-fuel
boosters were attached to the first stage to
increase lifting power.
