** The second launch, scheduled for 1:27 p.m. ET, will see a Falcon Heavy rocket carrying the USSF-67 mission into orbit. The USSF-67 mission is a classified mission for the U.S. Space Force. It is the second of two USSF-67 missions that SpaceX is scheduled to launch this year. Both launches are scheduled to take place from Launch Complex 39A at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The launches will be the first from the Space Coast since SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station on Oct. 5. SpaceX has a busy launch schedule for the rest of the year, with several more launches of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets planned. The company is also scheduled to launch its first Starship rocket from the Space Coast later this year. **

Conclusion

** The double-header launch day is a testament to SpaceX's growing launch cadence and its ability to support a variety of missions. The launches will also provide a boost to the economy of the Space Coast, which is home to a large number of aerospace companies and workers.
