Already scrubbed twice, SpaceX attempted once again to launch its latest Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40. Liftoff was set for no earlier than 3:13 p.m. Thursday afternoon, but was pushed back six minutes. SpaceX did not give a reason.

SpaceX currently operates close to 6,500 Starlink satellites in orbit and has plans to loft thousands more. The satellites have been used to provide vital communications to hard-hit areas following natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene or in the wake of conflicts such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
