SpaceX conducted the fifth launch of National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) proliferated architecture from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
SpaceX conducted its fifth launch of National Reconnaissance Office proliferated architecture on Saturday from California. The NRO said it partnered with the U.S. Space Force’s Space Launch Delta 30 and SpaceX to successfully launch the NROL-126 mission aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It happened from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 3:10 a.m. ET.
It represented SpaceX's "100th successful launch from pad 4E in California," the company founded by Elon Musk in 2002 said on X. SpaceX had already carried four batches of NRO satellites – constructed by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman – to low Earth orbit in May, June, September and October, according to SpaceNews.com. Saturday's launch marked the first time the NROL-126 mission included an unspecified number of government satellites, as well as 20 Starlink internet satellites.
