BREVARD COUNTY • KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLORIDA – A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled to launch the USSF 67 mission for the U.S. Space Force from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Sunday.

Launch is targeted for 5:56 p.m. ET.

The weather conditions for Sunday’s launch is 90-percent favorable, according to the 45th Weather Squadron. The primary concern is liftoff winds.

A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the USSF 67 mission for the U.S. Space Force. The mission will launch the Space Force’s second Continuous Broadcast Augmenting SATCOM, or CBAS 2, communications satellite and the Long Duration Propulsive ESPA 3A, or LDPE 3A, rideshare satellite hosting multiple experimental payloads.

For this launch, the Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on landing zone 1 and landing zone 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and the core stage will be expended.

During this double landing, you will be able to see the boosters descend back towards the landing zones, like seen in the video below, and then experience a double sonic boom from their re-entry.

Coverage of the launch can be seen on Space Coast Daily TV.
