The scrubbed attempt
On Friday, June 14, SpaceX scrubbed its third launch attempt of the Starlink 10-2 mission, just one second before the countdown clock reached zero.
SpaceX never stated why the launch was aborted, but the Falcon 9 first-stage booster B1073 that was supposed to be used has been replaced with the B1078.
Last week, the first two attempts were scrubbed due to poor weather conditions.
SpaceX owns the Starlink company.
About the mission
The 22 satellites from the Starlink company will go to low-Earth orbit and join the thousands already there.
These satellites provide internet service to many parts of the globe.
Dr. Jonathan McDowell, of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has been documenting Starlink satellites.
