For the second time in the past two days, the American company SpaceX postponed the launch of a heavy Falcon 9 launch vehicle with another batch of Starlink Internet satellites. The reason for the postponement of the start was again unfavorable weather conditions.

The company announced this on its Twitter page, indicating that the launch was postponed due to bad weather, as well as to get additional time “for pre-launch checks.”

“The launch of Starlink satellites from the LC-39 launch complex is now scheduled for Tuesday, March 2, 19:53 US East Coast time (03:53 March 3 Moscow time),” SpaceX said in a statement.

Recall, as the website kp.ru wrote, in early February the company launched a group of 60 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. And before that, on January 24, the Falcon 9 rocket was launched with the largest number of microsatellites: then 143 vehicles were launched.
