Update June 3, 7:24 a.m. EDT (1124 UTC): SpaceX scrubbed the launch.
SpaceX hoped to launch its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Wednesday morning, but poor weather proved insurmountable.
When it launches, the Starlink 10-43 mission will add 29 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit constellation. It consists of more than 10,000 spacecraft.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is now scheduled for Thursday, June 4, during a window that opens at 4 a.m. EDT (8000 UTC). The Falcon 9 rocket will fly on a north-easterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.
