NROL-76

Launch date: 

NROL-76 patch

First launch under SpaceX's certification for national security space missions, which allows SpaceX to contract launch services for classified payloads. Second-stage speed and altitude telemetry were omitted from the launch webcast, which displayed first-stage telemetry instead, with continuous tracking of the booster from liftoff to landing for the first time.
