SpaceX is targeting Thursday, October 24 for a Falcon 9 launch of the NROL-167 mission from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 10:13 a.m. PT. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Friday, October 25 at 9:59 a.m. PT.A live webcast of this mission will begin about ten minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the 21st flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-113, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, SDA-0B, and 14 Starlink missions.

Mission patch from the SpaceX mission page.No clover, though, so it's probably just the NRO patch.
The emblem's blue circles artistically depict a proliferated constellation of satellites, reflecting the new paradigm for assets the NRO is putting on orbit. The constellation design also suggests an eye's iris, reflecting the NRO's reconnaissance mission – seeing Earth from the perspective of stars. Additional design elements include the limitless horizon and the path to orbit with a four-point star. The tagline, "Strength in Numbers," describes the NRO's new strategy of a proliferated overhead architecture – numerous, smaller satellites designed for capability and resilience.
Launch Roundup: SpaceX approaches 400th orbital flight; Blue Origin, China, Japan launch missionswritten by Martin Smith October 21, 2024 […]There are two planned Starlink missions out of Cape Canaveral atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 on Wednesday and Saturday from the same pad. Falcon 9 will also fly a classified mission for the National Reconnaissance Office from the West coast.SpaceX has picked up its cadence following Falcon 9’s recent return-to-flight and is quickly approaching its 400th orbital mission. The company began the week at 398 total missions, following the launch of the OneWeb #20 mission from California. If schedules hold, the company will reach its 400th orbital flight with the NROL-167 mission out of Vandenberg this week.[…]
All systems are looking good, weather is 90% favorable, and propellant load is about to begin for today’s launch of the @NatReconOfc's NROL-167 mission from California
