USSF-385 (oznaczona także jako R-4) to misja dla amerykańskich Sił Kosmicznych (United States Space Force), w ramach której ładunek został wyniesiony na niską orbitę okołoziemską (LEO).

Misja była tajna, ale wszystko wskazuje na to, że na szczycie rakiety znalazły się 23 satelity zbudowane w ramach prowadzonej przez SpaceX inicjatywy Starshield, której celem jest wykorzystanie technologii Starlink na rzecz bezpieczeństwa narodowego. Z dużym prawdopodobieństwem są one elementem budowanej przez Siły Kosmiczne konstelacji zapewniającej łączność oraz pozwalającej na śledzenie statków powietrznych z orbity.

On Friday, November 6 at 4:48 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched the USSF-432 mission from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This was the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched GPS III-8 and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

With the high cadence, the lack of any official information on these launches is very surprising considering the contracts for these satellites were heavily publicized. USSF-432 last night was the 6th launch, with 2 more scheduled for next week and another 10 within 10 months.

Na orbitę trafiły kolejne 23 satelity, będące częścią tworzonej sieci, której zadaniem jest zapewnienie wysoce bezpiecznej łączności.

Falcon 9 launches from California on classified mission for U.S. Space Force
Steven Young November 6, 2026

(...) The flight was originally scheduled for Nov. 1 but was delayed repeatedly, first due to delays of the Starlink 15-18 launch, and then for reasons that were not disclosed.

The mission is designated USSF-432 but is also identified as R-4 in public documents. This series of ‘R’ missions began Aug. 16 with USSF-366. More launches in the sequence followed with USSF-153 (R-2) on Sept. 10 and USSF-385 (R3) on Sept. 26.

Each R launch has placed 23 satellites in orbit, according to orbital catalog entries. They are thought to be based on SpaceX’s Starshield platform, the government version of the Starlink satellite.

According to Jonathan McDowell, the respected tracker of space launches, the R satellites are part of the U.S. Space Force’s Space Based Sensing and Targeting program.

Officially, the Space Force has declined to provide any information about the missions. Neither SpaceX or the Space Force have confirmed a successful satellite deployment on the previous flights.

The Falcon 9 first stage booster, B1095, is making its eighth flight and landed on the drone ship ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ stationed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. The booster’s previous flights all took place from the East Coast at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. It made a cross country transfer after launching the GPS 3-8 mission in April. The bulk of recent Falcon 9 launches have taken place from Vandenberg as SpaceX focuses its attention on launching the first Starship from Florida.
