"SpaceX Conducts Secret Valentine's Day Mission for US Space Force from Cape Canaveral"

SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket on a classified USSF-124 mission for the Space Force from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying payloads including satellites for the Missile Defense Agency and the Space Development Agency. The first-stage booster made a successful recovery, marking the 13th mission from all of SpaceX’s launch pads in 2024. This launch is part of a busy period for SpaceX, with rockets on all four of its launch pads, and it comes ahead of another planned Falcon 9 launch in California and a lunar mission from Kennedy Space Center.
