SpaceX will have to wait at least another day before launching a new batch of data satellites to low Earth orbit (the band of space closest to Earth, where most satellites fly) on behalf of the United States Space Force’s Space Development Agency (SDA). The Tranche 1 Transporter Layer A mission is the fourth flight supporting the Space Development Agency’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation. SpaceX is a space company based in Hawthorne.
SpaceX scrubbed its launch attempt of the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer A mission on Monday, Oct. EDT (0200 UTC): SpaceX is targeting launch no earlier than Saturday, Oct.
EDT (0048 UTC): SpaceX is foregoing its next launch attempt; next launch opportunity is Thursday. The launch planned for early Monday morning was scrubbed in the final minute of the count as rocket was shifting into its automated startup sequence.
