SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force in California no earlier than 6:27 a.m. PDT (9:27 a.m. EDT; 1327 GMT) Saturday with a top secret payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, the U.S. government’s spy satellite agency. The Falcon 9 booster will return to a vertical landing back at Vandenberg about eight minutes later. SpaceX delayed the launch from Friday to allow more time for checkouts and data reviews.
