A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket ferried a US National Reconnaissance Office payload into orbit.
The mission, NROL-87, is unfortunately highly classified, but it’s assumed that its payload was a spy satellite of some sort, given the NRO built it. This was the first time a Falcon 9 rocket was used for an NRO mission. Each NRO mission has its own custom-made patch, and NROL-87 was no different – this time, the patch featured a wild mountain goat on high alert atop the peak of a mountain.
