But instead, the company is now targeting launch for 10:26 a.m. on Tuesday. No reason has been given.
The first-stage booster supporting the mission is slated to fly for the 18th time, marking another potential milestone in SpaceX’s reusable rocket program. The booster previously supported high-profile missions including Crew-9, RRT-1, Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1, Fram2, SXM-10, MTG-S1, EchoStar XXV, SXM-11, and nine Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the booster is expected to land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
