The Sunday launch for the SpaceX rocket will have a good weather, which will be perfect for the secretive mission. Hopefully it will be a success for the Kennedy Space Center on that day.

SpaceX Rocket Launch Gets Good Weather

While there has been no confirmation what the details of the mission on Sunday is all about, the Kennedy Space Center is glad to announce that the SpaceX rocket launching will have good weather. The Falcon 9 rocket will have a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, and it is expected to launch off pad 39A. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron reported that the weather is 80 percent better during the launch window that opens at 7 AM and closes at 9 AM, but there are concerns of liftoff winds and the presence of cumulus clouds, Florida Today reported.

SpaceX Rocket Launch Will Be 33rd Flight

This Sunday's launch will be the 33rd flight of the Falcon 9 rocket, and it will be SpaceX's fifth launch for this year. Since the launch of the previously-used Falcon 9 booster, this will be its first flight. It will have a designation of NROL-76 and it will fly on an all-new launcher, Spaceflight Now reported.

The US government customers like the NRO, the Air Force, and NASA, are still certifying the reused rockets to help launch their spacecraft into space. The orbital deployment this time around will be SpaceX's first launch, which will be dedicated to the NRO.
