SpaceX Launch For Today Delayed, Again

A launch of another 60, Starlink satellites by Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX has again been delayed this morning, after SpaceX said it received an "out of family ground system sensor reading". SpaceX said it will announced a new, target launch date once it is confirmed on the Range. The launch already had been delayed once, on Monday, due to weather. SpaceX already has more than 500 satellites in orbit around the earth that are currently part of Starlink. SpaceX said this particular Falcon 9 is the same first stage which supported launch of Crew Dragon's first flight to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts onboard and the ANASIS-II mission. SpaceX's launch for these set of satellites is again from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
