SpaceX happened his fifth installation of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) will be carried out on Saturday from California.
The NRO said it cooperated with the US Space Force’s Space Launch Delta 30 and SpaceX to successfully launch the NROL-126 mission on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
It took place from Space Launch Complex 4 East in Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 3:10 am ET.
“This project is the fifth implementation of the NRO’s infrastructure, which demonstrates the success of this program,” the NRO said in a statement. “Today’s successful mission follows the launch of NROL-167 on Oct. 24, and the ongoing mission continues to disrupt the NRO satellite constellation.”

“For more than 60 years, NRO has been able to meet its needs US intelligencethe military, the government, and their allies. They remain a world leader in special intelligence, surveillance, and public awareness,” NRO’s next-generation systems will help ensure that the right data is delivered to the user at the right time, faster than ever before. About half of the twelve units that supporting NRO construction is planned for 2024, with further additions expected until 2028.”
In addition to the NRO’s NROL-126 mission, SpaceX said the Falcon 9 rocket also carried 20 Starlink satellites into orbit.
It represented “SpaceX’s 100th successful launch from pad 4E in California,” the company said founded by Elon Musk in 2002 he said on X.
SpaceX had already carried four sets of NRO satellites — made by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman — into low Earth orbit in May, June, September and October, according to SpaceNews.com.

No live broadcast of the liftoff was available, according to SpaceNewsand live food became available before the big engine passed.
“This project continues the NRO’s ability to build and develop the largest constellation of the US government in US history to provide the necessary information that can be obtained from space,” the voice of the woman is heard explaining the launch of the film. food was distributed on X.
