After rescheduled yesterday's launch of a Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX had announced tonight's launch attempt as scrubbed. For two consecutive night, SpaceX has scrubbed its attempt to launch 60 Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, which is targeting for tonight's 10:30 p.m. EDT (Friday 10:30 a.m. GMT+8).


The company wrote in social media that the launch is a "no go" due to high upper level winds on Wednesday, and the next launch window is rescheduled to the next day. Just two hours before the countdown hit zero on Thursday night, SpaceX had again announced that Falcon 9 will be standing down to update satellite software and triple-check everything again.


"Standing down to update satellite software and triple-check everything again. Always want to do everything we can on the ground to maximize mission success, next launch opportunity in about a week," SpaceX wrote in social media.
