Delta IX Rocket

The Delta IX rocket is a world object.

Background
In 2020, the USSA commissioned Delta IX rocket, one of the most successful rockets in the nation's history with over 77 successful launches. The spacecraft was developed entirely by USSA scientists and could hold two astronauts, sustaining them for up to 24 days. The longest recorded spaceflight in a Delta IX rocket was the 17-day Zeus 12 mission to the moon.

The spacecraft was the last of the manned rockets to the moon, converted afterward for military use, removing the crew and instrument sections in order to hold a nuclear warhead. During the last flight, the crew recovered a flag belonging to the Valiant 12 Virgo III lunar lander that touched down on November 14, 1969.

Gameplay
The rocket is part of an exhibit in the Museum of Technology, donated by the United States Space Administration and funded by the United States Department of Antiquities. It has a 50 star variant of the U.S. flag on the side.
