CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX has announced its next scheduled Falcon 9 launch from Florida’s Space Coast.

Company officials said the launch will send the NROL-69 mission from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Monday afternoon.

According to the Kennedy Space Center, the NROL-69 launch is part of a “classified mission” for the National Reconnaissance Office — a federal intelligence agency responsible for operating recon satellites.

The launch is targeting Monday at 1:48 p.m., though a backup opportunity will be available on Tuesday at 1:34 p.m. if needed.

This is set to be the second flight for the first-stage booster used in this mission, which was previously used as part of a Starlink mission.

News 6 will stream the launch live at the top of this story when it happens.
