Updated: 1:50 PM EST August 11, 2024
SpaceX has canceled the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket that was to send 23 Starlink satellites into orbit Sunday morning. The launch was scheduled for 10:59 a.m. Sunday, and all signs seemed good until the launch director called to cancel the launch with less than a minute to go before the countdown. SpaceX did not provide the exact reason for the cancellation at this time, though the company said the vehicle and payload were “in good condition” in an update on social media. SpaceX is now planning to attempt the launch on Monday, August 12, at 6:37 a.m. Backup opportunities are also available until 9:49 a.m. This mission marks the 17th flight of the first-stage booster supporting this launch. The booster has previously launched SES-22, ispace’s HAKUTO-R MISSION 1 mission, Amazonas-6, CRS-27, Bandwagon-1, and 11 Starlink missions. After the stages separate, the first stage will land on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
