SpaceX has successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Canaveral carrying the USSF-124 mission, a classified mission for the United States Space Force. 

The launch occurred at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the seventh launch of the first-stage booster, which previously launched Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER, and four Starlink missions. 

SpaceX will attempt another launch early Thursday morning. A Falcon 9 was scheduled to launch the Intuitive Machines IM-1 mission into orbit on Wednesday, but it has been pushed back by a day.
