Taken from Wikipedia, "Delta is an American versatile family of expendable launch systems that has provided space launch capability in the United States since 1960. There have been more than 300 Delta rockets launched, with a 95% success rate. Two Delta launch systems – Delta II and Delta IV – are still in use, though the Delta II will soon be retired. Delta rockets are currently manufactured and launched by the United Launch Alliance."
The sign reads, "The Delta placed its first successful payload, ECHO 1A, into orbit on August 12, 1960. Since then, Deltas have lifted over 100 payloads into space, earning the nickname of 'workhorse' ".
