Welcome to FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage of tonight\u2019s SpaceX Nusantara Lima mission \u2014 which has been postponed for the third night in a row from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.<\/p>\n
First, persistent rainfall and towering clouds sweeping across Florida forced back-to-back scrubs Monday<\/a> and Tuesday<\/a> as SpaceX crews unsuccessfully tried to launch the Falcon 9 rocket.<\/p>\n Then, SpaceX had targeted 8 p.m. to make a third bid at launching the Indonesian communications satellite<\/a>\u00a0into geosynchronous transfer orbit.<\/p>\n But instead, tonight’s launch was scrubbed.\u00a0The Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron only predicted 30% odds of favorable conditions early during the launch window, increasing slightly to 45% by the end. Cumulus clouds, anvil clouds and surface electric fields loomed as meteorological threats.<\/p>\n Per SpaceX’s website, the Nusantara Lima mission’s new launch window extends from 7:49 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11.<\/p>\n For the latest news and launch schedule from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, visit\u00a0floridatoday.com\/space<\/a>.
