SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 Launch Delayed Till End of September
Elon Musk tweeted this morning that SpaceX’s launch of the Falcon 9 v1.1 from Vandenberg Air Force Base will be delayed until the end of September.
Musk, founder and Chief Technology Officer of SpaceX, tweeted that the company will do another static fire test and “AF needs to test ICBMs, so probable launch Sept 29/30.”
The launch had been tentatively set for today, September 15, but anomalies were detected during a static fire test on Thursday, necessitating the second test.
This will be the first flight of this version of the Falcon 9 and SpaceX’s first launch from Vandenberg.
