SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to light up Cape Canaveral morning sky after standing down Monday


It’s launch day again! SpaceX scrubbed the Starlink mission Monday, May 27, after moving the launch attempt to the end of the allotted launch window. SpaceX did not give a reason for standing down from the Memorial Day liftoff.

Today, SpaceX will attempt again to launch the Starlink 6-60 mission, which is a batch of 23 Starlink internet satellites.
