Delta Cryogenic Second Stage przed przyłączeniem do CBC od Delty IV Medium.
Delta Cryogenic Second Stage (DCSS) – stopień górny rakiet nośnych Delta III i Delta IV. Jako jednostkę napędową wykorzystuje silnik RL-10, używany w członach S-IV i Centaur, z poważnymi modyfikacjami (większa moc, rozszerzalna komora spalania, wychylanie elektromechaniczne).
W przyszłości ma być użyty z rakietami Space Launch System (pod nazwą Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage).

At the Boeing Delta Operations Center, the suspended Delta Cryogenic Second Stage of a Boeing Delta IV launch vehicle is moved toward a work stand. The Delta IV rocket will be used for the 2005 launching of the GOES-N weather satellite for NASA and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The first in a series of three advanced weather satellites including GOES-O and GOES-P, the GOES-N will provide continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. It will provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric “triggers” of severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes. When these conditions develop, GOES-N will be able to monitor storm development and track their movements.
