SpaceX Scrubs Falcon 9 Launch for Arabsat BADR-8 Mission Due to Poor Weather.
SpaceX is set to launch its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, carrying a commercial communications satellite for Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat. The first attempt was scrubbed due to poor weather conditions. The liftoff is scheduled during a two-hour window that opens at 11:25 p.m. EDT Wednesday, May 24. The weather conditions are a concern, with only 25% "go" for liftoff during the window. The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage will target a landing on the Just Read the Instructions drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
