"US Space Force reschedules launch of secretive X-37B space plane on Falcon Heavy"

The US Space Force has postponed the launch of its secretive X-37B space plane, designated USSF-52, to December 10. The mission was originally scheduled for December 7 but was delayed due to shifting launch schedules and availability at Launch Complex-39A. This will be the first launch of the X-37B on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which has implications for its secretive mission. The spacecraft's objectives include operating in new orbital regimes and experimenting with space domain awareness technologies. The Falcon Heavy rocket can carry heavier payloads into higher orbits, potentially launching the X-37B farther into space than ever before.
