SpaceX X-37N Launches From Kennedy Space Center

The SpaceX X-37N space plane is a top-secret plane, which is operated by the U.S. space Force. It will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on December 11th at 8:14PM EST. According to the military, the space plane is for “testing technologies and carrying experiments to and from earth”. This could possibly include monitoring satellites, and guarding against threats in space.

The history of the SpaceX X-37N spans over a decade, with each mission being longer than the last. The last flight ended in November 2022, after 908 days in orbit. SpaceX also continues to do other launches, including more Starlink launches.
