SpaceX Scrub Recap: Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral

Scrub Recap: Scroll down to read the updates from the scrubbed SpaceX Starlink mission on Friday, August 9 from Space Launch Complex 40.

The Space Coast was once again poised to enjoy back-to-back launch days.

Friday morning, as well as Saturday morning, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket would have lifted off from the Space Coast, carrying the latest batch of Starlink internet satellites to orbit.

Friday's liftoff ? referred to as Starlink 8-3 ? from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 was delayed multiple times before being pushed to the end of the end of the window at 12:13 p.m.

As of Thursday, the Space Force 45th Weather Squadron predicted a 90% chance of favorable weather during the early part of the launch window, with the conditions decreasing to 80% favorable later on.

However, conditions up north, where the booster lands, were not favorable. It is notable that Hurricane Debby is currently moving up the eastern coast.

SpaceX will attempt to launch this mission on Saturday, beginning at 8:50 a.m. EDT.

This could possibly move Starlink 10-7 mission window to Sunday.
