SpaceX today launched the USSF-52 mission into orbit using the super powerful Falcon Heavy rocket.

There have been two delays earlier this month before today’s liftoff from Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. This mission was a collaboration between Space System Command (SSC), and SpaceX.

The side boosters used in the mission completed their fifth reusable performance and previously supported major missions including USSF-44, USSF-67, Hughes JUPTER 3, and NASA’s Psyche missions.
