SpaceX launches secret military satellite into space

Date:

For the first time since 2019, SpaceX has launched its Falcon Heavy rocket. A secret military satellite is said to be on board.

On behalf of the US Department of Defense, a “Falcon Heavy” rocket from the private space company SpaceX has launched at least one secret military satellite. The rocket took off from the Kennedy Space Center in the afternoon (CET).

Prior to the flight, designated USSF-44, it was said the rocket would launch two satellites into geosynchronous orbit. It is not known if there are other secret military cargoes on board.

The second probe is said to be the “Tetra 1” microsatellite. The US Department of Defense announcedthat the probe will test “missions, tactics, techniques, and procedures in and around geosynchronous Earth orbit.” The authorities are keeping the details secret.

“Falcon Heavy” contains reusable parts

It was the fourth launch of a “Falcon Heavy” rocket, also known as Elon Musk’s super rocket. When it first launched in February 2018, the billionaire and SpaceX boss launched a red sports car from his company Tesla into space.
