Update:  SpaceX has indefinitely postponed the launch of the United States Space Force USSF-52 space plane mission due to suspected engine damage on the rockets during propellant loading when a GSE equipment (likely a valve) malfuctioned during Monday nights launch attempt December 11th 2023 just before 8:00 PM. From the 39 press site just over two miles away a very large bang was heard before SpaceX stood down from the launch attempt from launch complex LC-39A.

SpaceX is lowering the rocket and will take it back into the HIF horizontal integration facility for engine swap outs and most likely a new static fire will have to be accomplished before a new launch date can be selected with the Cape Canaveral 45th space wing.

All media are having to remove every camera from the around the launch pad that were set up back on Monday afternoon during remote camera setup.

This highly anticipated mission would have been the 9th ever Falcon Heavy, the7th overall X-37B space plane launch, the fourth launch of X-37B vehicle #2 and the fifth Falcon Heavy launch in 2023.B-1064-5 & B-1065-5 will make a fifth flight into space and landing back at LZ-1 & LZ-2 at Cape Canaveral Florida.

The brand new center core B-1084-1 will be expended and not recovered due to mission requirements and the two side falcon 9 cores 

Photos from the remote camera setup around LC-39A of the now scrubbed Monday December 11th 2023 SpaceX Falcon Heavy USSF-52 space plane ready for liftoff at 8:14 PM with a very short ten minute window tonight with weather was at 75% go for launch!
