Falcon Heavy USSF-52 X-37B

Falcon Heavy twin side boosters landing at LZ-1 and LZ-2 during the day

Join Star Fleet for the next flight of the Falcon Heavy, the world's most powerful operational rocket! It'll be launching on Sunday, December 11 at 8:14 PM EST (01:14 UTC) on the classified USSF-52 mission for the US Space Force, carrying the top-secret X-37B robotic spaceplane as its primary payload.

LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: Unfortunately, our boat operator for this mission just notified us that due to a serious unexpected engine problem, the Ocean Obsession II will be unable to go out for the launch today. Accordingly, the launch viewing trip has to be canceled for this mission, and have initiated full refunds to everyone who booked, which should arrive in 5-10 business days. We're really sorry for the disappointment, and hope everyone still enjoys the launch from an alternate viewing location. Check out our viewing guide for options; Playalinda (if open) or Max Brewer Bridge/Titusville are your best options for launch; while for landing, Jetty Park (no pad view) or Route 528 are your best bets. As always, please reach out and ask via phone (321-209-2224) or social media should you have any questions. Thanks!

Be sure to check our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates on all our activities, as well as announcements of smaller/informal trips, and feel free to reach out over DM if you're interested in a private charter for a specific mission. Thanks!
