| SpaceX launches satellite for SiriusXM from Florida |
| 2020-12-14 |
| [UPI] SpaceX launched a radio communications satellite for SiriusXM from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday afternoon amid blue skids and puffy clouds, two days after scrubbing the flight with 30 seconds until liftoff. SpaceX had originally targeted the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket for 11:22 a.m. Sunday but pushed it back until 12:30 p.m., which was "optimized for launch and recovery," the company posted on Twitter. There was a window of one hour and 59 minutes. And the weather had improved to 80 percent "favorable," SpaceX tweeted. The company didn't say what caused the halt Friday, which occurred before the rocket was to lift off at 12:55 p.m. EST from Complex 40. |
