TL;DR Summary

SpaceX's third consecutive attempt to launch a Falcon 9 rocket on the Starlink 6-44 mission from NASA's Kennedy Space Center pad 39A has been delayed to 7:57 p.m. EDT, with backup opportunities available on Saturday. The launch was previously scrubbed on Thursday due to an issue with the transporter erector's cradle arms, and on Wednesday for reasons undisclosed. If successful, the rocket will deploy a batch of Starlink internet satellites and the first-stage booster will target landing aboard a drone ship out at sea. Additionally, NASA announced the upcoming SpaceX CRS-30 mission, scheduled for liftoff at 4:55 p.m. Thursday, and Brevard County Emergency Management has activated its launch operations support team in preparation for the launch.
