Space Launch Delta 45 and the Eastern Range, a critical component to today’s success, facilitated the Falcon Heavy launch today, April 29, 2026, as the latest success in a record-breaking month. Where Mercury Program vehicles flew once and fell into the ocean, modern reusable rockets now land and fly again. The Mercury 7 memorial at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station marks how far technology has come. This achievement directly advances SLD 45 efforts to expand partnerships and deliver unmatched space access for our nation.(U.S. Space Force photo by Gwendolyn Kurzen)
