Mission
A classified mission for the United States Space Force. It is possibly a batch of classified LEO satellites based on SpaceX’s Starshield satellite bus, based on locations of rocket stage drop zones being exact fits with previous Starlink Group 15 launches.
Falcon 9 will launch USSF-xxx from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, about 574 km downrange.
