SpaceX Scrubs Falcon 1 Launch For Today
SpaceX has decided to scrub it Falcon 1 Launch attempt for today. The next launch attempt will be in 24 hours – Tuesday, 20 March.
Just a minute before launch SpaceX declared a “terminal count abort”. No cause has yet been given.
The launch was delayed earlier in the evening when a data link between the launch site and SpaceX offices in El Segundo was not operating properly. This link was eventually re-established. While it was not technically required i.e. not mission critical for the launch to proceed, SpaceX felt it was important that folks in El Segundo be able to see all the data.
