In Photos: SpaceX Rocket Launches Secret Zuma Spacecraft

Launch Pad Swap

Because of the long launch delay for Zuma, SpaceX actually swapped launch pads for the mission. Here, the Falcon 9 carrying Zuma is seen at Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. SpaceX subsequently moved Zuma to its SLC-40 pad at the neighboring Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
