SpaceX Set to Launch Mysterious Zuma Satellite Next Month

Zuma really isn't living up to its name, is it?

Expected to launch into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 15, Zuma has kept space watchers waiting for nearly three weeks to see it zoom. Instead, SpaceX -- which will be using a Falcon 9 rocket to put the reportedly Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC)-built Zuma satellite in orbit -- canceled the Nov. 15 launch, then canceled another launch date on Nov. 16, postponing that one to Nov. 17, only to cancel the following day as well. The company had stayed mum on its status ever since -- until this week.

Is this what the top secret Zuma satellite looks like? Your guess is as good as that of literally anybody in the media. Image source: Getty Images.
