SpaceX is launching a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA. The owner of the cargo has not said what is on board. Families can still watch the rocket fly. We just do not get to know the boxes inside.
SpaceX is flying a Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA. Mission: SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer D. Tranche 1 Tracking Layer D is one of five missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Tracking Layer constellation, which will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 930 miles west. The broadcast is the view.
That is too far for the flame and, for almost every launch, too far for the high-altitude plume. Dim the lights and watch together anyway. The clock is still loose, so daylight is a guess.

Who is on this flight
Every company we can name, in plain words, plus a careers page when we have a real one.
Careers links are public pages we know. If we do not have one, we do not invent it.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is a United States Space Force direct-reporting unit tasked with deploying disruptive space technology.

So the slip still finds you
