TL;DR Summary
United Launch Alliance is set to launch a Delta IV Heavy rocket for the NROL-68 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Depending on cloud cover, people as far as Jacksonville and Tampa could see the rocket light up the sky. The launch is scheduled for 3:25 a.m. EDT on Thursday, June 22, and will send a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office to orbit. This will be the 15th launch of the 235-foot rocket since it started flying in 2004, and the next-to-last flight before it is retired in favor of the next-generation Vulcan Centaur rocket.
