SpaceX will not launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center as planned this week, pushing the Space Coast's next mission slated to fly with 60 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.
Teams were targeting Thursday afternoon for liftoff from pad 39A, but had to delay the mission due to unspecified reasons. SpaceX has not announced a new date, though the push is expected to run at least a few days, Florida Today reported.
This will mark the seventh flight for SpaceX's Starlink internet constellation, which will boost the network's size to more than 400 in Earth orbit. The company hopes to begin offering services to U.S.-based customers sometime late this year.
