SpaceX has rolled its Falcon 9 booster B1092-6 to Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and raised the vehicle to the vertical launch position ahead of the USSF-36 mission, the eighth orbital flight of the U.S. Space Force’s autonomous X-37B spaceplane. Liftoff is scheduled for Thursday night, 21 August, with a backup opportunity on Friday.
