SpaceX stands down from planned launch Saturday

Its been six attempts so far and SpaceX still has not had any luck with its planned 10th Starlink mission. The company scrubbed the planned launch Saturday to allow more time for checkouts.

This mission, once successful, will launch a Falcon 9 rocket and will send 57 more Starlink satellites and two BlackSky Earth observation micro satellites into orbit. Once the mission reaches first stage of separation, SpaceX will land the Falcon’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. The BlackSky satellites will be deployed sequentially 1 hour and a minute after liftoff, followed by the Starlink satellites 31 minutes later.

Once the company makes a confirmation with the Range, they will announce a new launch opportunity.
