SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch of X-37B Space Plane Delayed Due to Weather

SpaceX is targeting December 28 for the launch of the U.S. Space Force's X-37B space plane atop a Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Originally scheduled for December 11, the launch was delayed due to an issue with ground equipment. The X-37B is primarily an orbital testbed for new space technology, and the details of its missions, including payload information, are classified. The Falcon Heavy, the second-most powerful rocket currently in operation, has launched eight times to date, with the most recent launch in October 2023.
