@SpaceX Targeting Sunday, December 10 for launch of USSF-52 to orbit. Teams are keeping an eye on weather conditions, which are currently 40% favorable for liftoff
This will be the fifth launch and landing of these Falcon Heavy side boosters, which previously supported USSF-44, USSF-67, Hughes JUPTER 3, and NASA’s Psyche mission. Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida
