In a last-minute change, SpaceX has postponed the launch of 28 Starlink satellites, aiming for a new liftoff time on Monday night, May 12. This launch is particularly significant as it will see the Falcon 9 booster achieving a remarkable 28th flight, setting a new record in the company's growing legacy.

Scheduled for takeoff from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the liftoff is now targeted for 11:36 p.m. EDT (0336 UTC). This mission will also mark the 100th launch of a single-stick Falcon 9 rocket from this historic pad.

Adding to the drama, the 45th Weather Squadron has issued a forecast indicating a 50 percent chance of favorable weather for the launch. However, their report raises concerns about cloud cover due to storms anticipated to roll in on Sunday afternoon and evening.

Weather officials have detailed potential issues, stating, 'While the bulk of convection is expected to fade by the launch window opening late Sunday night, lingering showers and storms might still be a factor.' Persistent anvil clouds and thick layers could pose additional challenges.

This weather uncertainty is believed to be the key reason for the launch scrub this morning, as SpaceX has yet to issue an official statement explaining the delay.

Once the launch does go ahead, approximately eight minutes after liftoff, the plan is to land the Falcon 9 booster, designated B1067, on the drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions' located in the Atlantic Ocean, east of the Bahamas. If successful, this will be the 120th successful landing for this drone ship and the 445th booster landing in SpaceX's impressive history.
