SpaceX Launches Starlink Satellites Amid Recent Setback
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX postponed its Starlink 6-77 satellite launch from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40 due to unfavorable weather conditions, with only a 30% chance of favorable conditions predicted by the 45th Weather Squadron. The launch, initially set for Sunday, was delayed due to a helium issue in the rocket's first stage. SpaceX plans to attempt the launch again no earlier than 3:13 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcon 9 rocket's booster is expected to land on the "Just Read the Instructions" drone ship post-launch.
