US Space Force Launches New Missile-Tracking Rocket

"Space Systems Command (SSC) and its mission partners successfully launched the U.S. Space Force (USSF)-124 mission on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida."

SpaceX successfully launched a covert national security mission in the late afternoon of 14^th February. 

At precisely 5:30 p.m. EST, a Falcon 9 rocket launched the classified USSF-124 mission for the U.S. Space Force. 

About eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth and made a vertical landing at sunny Cape Canaveral. Soon after, Space Force requested that SpaceX broadcast its launch. This was SpaceX's 272nd rocket of the orbital class to land. 

The new-gen rocket is innovated with a new generation of missile detection, missile tracking, and communications satellites on board.
