The U.S. Space Force X-37B space plane is primed for a weekend takeoff.

The SpaceX Falcon Heavy booster to hurl the robotic space plane skyward is set to launch during a ten-minute window that opens December 10 at 8:14 p.m. Eastern Time from Launch Complex-39A at NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

According to a Space Systems Command statement, the Space Force mission will expand knowledge of the space environment for future space domain awareness technologies.

U.S. Space Force-52 is carrying the seventh mission of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-7), which is an experimental test program that demonstrates technologies for a reliable, reusable, uncrewed space test platform for the U.S. Space Force.
