SpaceX once again delays launch of Falcon 9 due to weather
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - SpaceX has once again delayed the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral due to weather concerns.
Two SpaceX launches were planned from Cape Canaveral this week.
The first one was scheduled for Thursday night but had to be rescheduled to Friday due to unfavorable weather. The weather was again a concern on Friday evening because of a low cloud deck, so now the space company is targeting Saturday at 6:11 p.m.
The Falcon 9 rocket will carry Italy's COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG-2) satellite into orbit. CSG-2 is designed to provide critical data and emergency risk prevention.
