SpaceX has announced the next Falcon 9 launch attempt will be no earlier than Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration has not granted approval for a Sunday launch due to heavy air traffic following the Thanksgiving holiday.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 v.1.1 rocket has scrubbed for the second time, following its Thanksgiving launch attempt. The countdown suffered from two holds during its available window to launch the SES-8 satellite from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral, in what SpaceX are aiming to be the debut of the upgraded rocket from their Florida base – which is now tracking a third attempt on Monday.
