SpaceX will attempt to launch a spy satellite for the first time [space.com] on Sunday, breaking a 10-year United Launch Alliance monopoly on classified U.S. launches.

The two-hour launch window [spacex.com] opens at 7:00 a.m. EDT (11:00 UTC), with a backup launch window the next day at the same time. SpaceX will attempt to recover the first stage rocket.

Also at NASASpaceFlight [nasaspaceflight.com] and The Verge [theverge.com]. Falcon Heavy test firing begins soon [nasaspaceflight.com].
