SpaceX again delayed the next launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday, citing poor weather conditions and range support availability.

Teams at pad 39A had been targeting Tuesday evening for the launch of 60 Starlink satellites – the company's 20th internet mission to date – but opted not to proceed due to inclement weather around the pad and drone ship recovery zone.

SpaceX also cited "range availability" as an issue, though no other launches or launch activities were planned for Tuesday.

Thursday, a sharp deviation from the previous late-evening window. The shift likely indicates launch engineers will change orbital planes, meaning the rocket's second stage will deliver the 60 Starlink satellites to a different destination in low-Earth orbit.

Had schedules remained steady, this 20th launch of Starlink satellites would have flown in late January.
