"Nasa" rocket launch you mean. It was private dickhead billionaires back then as now. Nasa paid the bill for these billionaires' companies to both build the rockets and run the missions, getting the glory and sharing all the information with the government paying the bill and then some.

I believe it was this launch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LADEE

Well, they have a point:

Minotaur V was developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation (now absorbed into Northrop Grumman) and made its maiden, and to date only, flight on September 7, 2013, carrying the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) spacecraft for NASA.

In my opinion, commissioned by NASA is also NASA rocket, though

Thanks, I focused on the cargo but that makes sense.
