Gunter Krebs has pointed out that the WISE website states that mission will launch aboard a Taurus 2210, the first MIDEX mission not to use a Delta. (WISE was named as MIDEX-6 in March, though it will be the fifth MIDEX mission to fly thanks to the cancellation of MIDEX-4, FAME.) Also, Gunter noted a sci.space.policy posting that says that the GOES missions “have silently moved to the Delta IVM+ launch vehicle, reducing the chances that Delta III will ever return to flight.” Thanks go out to Gunter for this info.
