SpaceX Targets December 13 For X-37b Space Plane Launch

SpaceX is gearing up to launch the United States Space Force’s experimental X-37b unmanned space plane, with the targeted launch date set for Wednesday, December 13. Originally scheduled for Monday, the launch was delayed due to an unspecified “ground side issue.” The mission, code-named USSF-52, will take place at Cape Canaveral in Florida and is planned to be executed using SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket.

Built by Boeing, the X-37b project has been shrouded in secrecy, but it is known to be an unmanned and reusable space plane designed to carry out various science experiments. This mission marks the X-37b’s seventh test mission, and notably, it is the first time it will orbit using a SpaceX Falcon Heavy.

The delayed launch, attributed to a ground-side issue, was originally scheduled for the summer but has now been rescheduled for no earlier than December 13 at 8:13 p.m. Eastern time. The specific details of the mission remain undisclosed, reflecting the classified nature of the X-37b program.


If successful, this mission could pave the way for future collaborations between SpaceX and the U.S. Space Force, potentially expanding capabilities for sending missions to more distant points from Earth — This becomes particularly relevant as space exploration evolves, with the prospect of establishing crewed moon bases by various countries in the near future.

As SpaceX continues to play a significant role in advancing space exploration capabilities, the X-37b’s mission with the Falcon Heavy represents another milestone in the partnership between private space companies and governmental space agencies.
