SpaceX canceled the launch of a new batch of Starlink satellites on the Falcon 9 launch vehicle 1 minute, 24 seconds before the launch, which was supposed to take place today at 4:37 am Moscow time. This was reported on the organization’s Twitter.
The flight was to take place from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The reasons for the cancellation were not disclosed. The company stressed that the next launch is scheduled for March 2 at 04:45 Moscow time.
The launch of the previous batch of satellites took place on February 16. The mission was successful, but the company could not return the Falcon 9 booster to the platform. The reasons for the failure have not yet been named.
We add that SpaceX has put more than 1000 small Starlink satellites into Earth’s orbit just to date. The company has already started to provide high-speed Internet access services in test mode for quite a long time. Since February, it has begun accepting preliminary applications for connection from everyone.
