Mar 30, 2017 - Cape Canaveral, Florida, U.S. - Flight cancelled. The National Reconnaissance Office's NROL-76 payload are a mystery, it's still hard to hide a rocket launch taking to the skies off the coast of Florida. Ascending on a pillar of fire and smoke, SpaceX's Falcon 9 will launch a dedicated intelligence payload for the U.S. government May 1st. This was the NewSpace company's second attempt to launch the Falcon 9 as the first attempt on April 30 was scrubbed within 52 seconds of the planned liftoff due to a sensor error with the rocket's first stage.
