Watch as SpaceX targets the liftoff of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the USSF-432 mission for the U.S. Space Force from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
This national security space mission supports critical United States Space Force space-domain operations and defense infrastructure.
USSF-432 is a classified national security payload launched on behalf of the U.S. Space Force, meaning official satellite details and capabilities remain strictly top-secret.
What is Rumored:
Based on launch hazard zone boundaries and stage drop zones that mirror typical West Coast Starlink deployments, space analysts suspect the payload is actually a cluster of classified Low Earth Orbit (LEO) defense satellites built on SpaceX’s modified Starshield satellite bus.
Following stage separation, the Falcon 9 first-stage booster (B1095 on its 8th flight) will return to Earth to land on the autonomous droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
