On Saturday, that partnership continued when SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, carrying a classified payload for the U.S. Space Force, was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The launch was part of Space Force’s USSF-385 mission, but details regarding that mission have been classified.
