A Delta 4 rocket successfully launched a military communications satellite March 14 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The United Launch Alliance rocket placed the Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) 10 satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. WGS-10 joins a constellation of nine other satellites that provide communications services for the armed forces of the U.S. and several allied nations. The launch was the next-to-last flight of a "single stick" version of the Delta 4, with the final launch scheduled for this summer.
