> It’s no secret in the spaceflight community that a secret mission is scheduled to launch from Kennedy Space Center’s Pad 39A on Sunday.
>What is speculative, however, is the exact time of the launch, which still has not been officially released. But that’s not uncommon for this type of launch.
>The upcoming USSF-52 mission is for the United States Space Force. A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will carry the Department of Defense’s X-37-B Orbital Test Vehicle back to orbit for a seventh orbital mission. The X-37B is an uncrewed military space plane which is renowned for carrying “classified” payloads into space. The Space Force is partnering with the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office on this particular mission. No one really knows the exact purpose of the mission or how long it will last because…you guessed it…it’s a secret!
