On Tuesday, the American company SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy superheavy rocket with a stealth device for the needs of the US Space Force as part of the USSF-44 mission.
This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to Space.com.
As noted, the launch vehicle was launched from the spaceport in Cape Canaveral (Florida) at 09:41 East Coast time (15:41 Kyiv time).
The rocket is said to be carrying several payloads into geostatic orbit for the US Space Force as part of a mission called USSF-44.
USSF-44 is SpaceX’s fourth Falcon Heavy launch overall and the first since June 2019. Due to the classified nature of the mission, the weight of the cargo being taken into Earth orbit and other details of the mission were not disclosed. The main payload for today’s launch is a stealth satellite.
As Ukrinform reported, at the end of October, the American company SpaceX placed 53 mini-satellites into orbit to renew the orbital group of the Starlink system’s global Internet coverage network.
