SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Launches Delayed, ULA's Vulcan Pushed to New Year

SpaceX has delayed the launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket to no earlier than December 28 due to a "ground side issue" and bad weather conditions. The rocket will carry Boeing's X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle for the USSF-52 mission. Meanwhile, United Launch Alliance has postponed the launch of its Vulcan Centaur rocket until the new year after delays during a wet dress rehearsal. The rocket's main payload is Astrobotic Technology's Peregrine lunar lander. The Space Coast is expected to see a busy launch window in early January, including the first crewed launch of the year and another NASA CLPS mission.
