It is a medium-lift vehicle used to launch Global Positioning System satellites into orbit, providing navigational data to military users. The Delta II also launches civil and commercial payloads into low-earth, polar, geosynchronous transfer, and stationary orbits. The Delta II remains the U.S. Air Force's sole launch platform for placing GPS IIR satellites in orbit.
