Not much is known about this launch. The clandestine payload launching on the NROL-71 mission is believed by astute observers of NRO launches to likely be the latest in a line of sharp-eyed optical imaging craft — sometimes known as Keyhole satellites — with Earth-pointing telescopes in polar orbit.
This will be 132nd mission for United Launch Alliance. It is the 382nd Delta launch since 1960, the 38th for a Delta IV rocket since 2002 and the 11th Delta IV Heavy.
