December 19, 2020
Rounding off a record-breaking and historic launch manifest for 2020, SpaceX conduct its second dedicated launch for the United States National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) on Saturday – following a scrub on Thursday – with a flight-proven Falcon 9 carrying out the NROL-108 mission.
Liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) occurred at the start of a three-hour window, at 09:00 EST (14:00 UTC) on Saturday.
This mission marked the 103rd launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket since its first flight in June 2010 and its 26th launch in 2020. This is a new record for SpaceX, having broken their previous record of 21 launches set two years prior.
