SpaceX Scrubs Starlink 10-7 At T-Minus 46 Seconds This Morning

Early in the launch window, Playalinda Beach was bright and sunny with light breezes. Spectators were relatively light, probably because it’s Florida, it’s August and it was truly hot.

SpaceX Scrubs In The Last Minute, Disappointing Spectators

It was hotter than a dog’s mouth this morning for spectators waiting in vain to watch today’s planned rocket launch. Scheduled to liftoff at 10:59 AM EDT, at 46 seconds, SpaceX called off the launch of Falcon 9 and the Starlink 10-7 mission from Launch Complex 39-A at Kennedy Space Center.

No official reason for the scrub was announced by the company.

Spectators gathered at the stop point on Playalinda Beach. This photo was made with about a minute left on the countdown. The launch scrubbed seconds later.

SpaceX is now targeting liftoff no earlier than 06:37 AM EDT (1037 UTC) on Monday, August 12th.

I'm a NASA kid originally from Cocoa Beach, FL, born of Project Apollo. My family worked for NASA and/or their contractors, and I watched it all as a kid. And what kid doesn't like rockets? Currently, I am an IT engineer, a recovered R&D scientist that spent time in laser metrology, fiber optic applications and also lightning protection. I'm also a photographer, a writer and a bad musician. My favorite things are space, boating, sports, music and traveling. You can find me on Twitter as @TheOldManPar.
