The SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch the USSF-52 Mission to Orbit
The U.S. military's secretive X-37B robot spaceplane blasted off from Florida on Thursday night on its seventh mission, the first launched atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket capable of delivering it to a higher orbit than ever before.
The Falcon Heavy, composed of three liquid-fueled rocket cores strapped together, roared off its launch pad from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in a spectacular liftoff carried live on a SpaceX webcast.
For the first time since 2019, #SpaceX launched their heavy-lift rocket, the Falcon Heavy, Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 9:41 am (EDT), sending the USSF-44 payload to orbit. The rocket launched from LC-39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Approximately 8-minutes after launch, two of the three cores returned to Landing Zones 1 and 2 at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This was the view captured with a GoPro camera on a timer, set there the day before. Big thanks to the Space media and recovery teams for making this shot possible, and to the Space Launch Delta team for helping staff this event.

Hey, y’all! We’re back!
Apologies about dropping out, there. I got a pretty nasty little cold that completely took me out and then finals happened. Now, though, with finals all done and me being firmly in summer break mode, I have more time to do this! So, let’s get a few highlights from the month I’ve been gone.
HIGHLIGHTS
Okay, highlights. Right after my last bulletin (oh, it’s been over a…
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the towering launch vehicle known for its boosters’ aerial acrobatics and synchronized landings when returning to Earth, took to the skies Sunday, delivering national security payloads to orbit for the US military.
The mission, called USSF-67, took off at 5:56 p.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking the fifth successful flight of the rocket recently dethroned as the world’s most powerful operational launch vehicle. This mission was initially advertised to launch on Saturday, and the reason for the one-day delay was not immediately clear.
