BREVARD COUNTY • CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – A SpaceX rocket launch at Cape Canaveral was scrubbed on Sunday after a cruise liner entered the no-go zone with less than a minute before liftoff.
The launch is now targeted for Monday at 6:11 p.m. ET.
Weather conditions are 90-percent favorable for Sunday’s rocket launch with the primary concern being the Cumulus Cloud Rule and heavy cloud cover near launch.
The rocket will carry the second COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, or CSG 2, radar surveillance satellite for ASI, the Italian space agency.
Following first-stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to recover the booster engine on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Coverage of the launch can be seen on Space Coast Daily TV.
