BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - SpaceX has delayed an attempt to launch another batch of its Starlink satellites from Florida's Space Coast.
A Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled to liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during a four-hour window on Monday. However, SpaceX scrubbed the launch before the window opened.
The company has not given a reason for the launch being delayed.
Starlink mission
When the rocket eventually launches, it will be carrying 29 Starlink broadband satellites into low Earth orbit.
The rocket's first stage is expected to return to Earth shortly after launch and land in the Atlantic Ocean on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas."
Growing satellite network
SpaceX's Starlink network consists of thousands of active satellites, creating a megaconstellation.
The network provides broadband internet service to users around the world, including those in remote locations.
