TL;DR Summary
SpaceX scrubbed the Falcon 9 Starlink 10-39 liftoff from Cape Canaveral with 28 seconds left in the countdown; no reason was disclosed and a new liftoff time hasn’t been announced, though FAA docs show a backup window Friday, Aug. 21 from 10:57 a.m. to 3:39 p.m. ET. Brevard County deactivated launch ops after the scrub, and the booster is expected to land on a drone ship if liftoff resumes during the window.
