On Friday, November 6, at 4:48 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched USSF-432 from SLC-4E at Vandenberg. SpaceX says it was the booster's eighth flight, after GPS III-8 and six Starlink missions, and that the first stage landed on Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific; the mission page does not list payload deployment. Vandenberg called it a national security mission and the 74th launch it supported in 2026, and Spaceflight Now says neither SpaceX nor the Space Force has confirmed deployment on the earlier flights in this series.
