CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — SpaceX will be launching a classified mission on Monday afternoon.
What You Need To Know
- SpaceX will send off NROL-69
- It will leave from Space Launch Complex 40
The top-secret mission is for the National Reconnaissance Office.
It will be sent up from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, courtesy of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, stated the company.
The liftoff is expected to happen at 1:48 p.m. ET.
If there is a scrub, the next attempt will be Tuesday at 1:34 p.m. ET.
The first-stage booster, B1092, has already sent up only one mission, Starlink 12-13, last month.
After the stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster will be landing at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Fore Station.
Because it is landing on land, many can expect some not-so-secret sonic booms.
