TL;DR

SpaceX has delayed the launch of a communications satellite from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station due to inclement weather and to allow more time for pre-launch checkouts. The next two-hour window to fly will open at 11:25 p.m. EDT Friday, May 26. The rocket's first stage will target a drone ship landing in the Atlantic Ocean, marking its 14th flight to date. The payload fairing contains BADR-8, a commercial communications satellite for Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat.
