Starlink was scheduled to put 60 new satellites into orbit on Sunday night (February 28), but SpaceX was forced to cancel the launch 90 seconds before launch. The exact reason for the launch cancellation was not disclosed, but may have been due to weather or other technical reasons.

SpaceX will make another attempt to launch the Starlink v1.0 L17 mission from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday night at 7:53 pm ET.

The Falcon 9 rocket experienced an automated system abort on Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

"Overall, the vehicle and payload are healthy and remain in good condition. The vehicle and payload are in good shape," said Andy Tran, SpaceX's production supervisor, during the live launch commentary. The full video leading up to the launch with commentary can be seen below; at 16:33, the launch was automatically aborted.

The Starlink v1.0 L17 mission was originally scheduled to launch in mid-February, but was postponed due to hardware issues and bad weather. Because of the cancelled launch, SpaceX's Starlink launches are not in order; L18 and L19 have already been successfully launched.

If mission L17 is successful, it will be the sixth Starlink launch in 2021. The satellite Internet constellation will then be able to take advantage of all successful launches. Currently, Elon Musk plans to have 12,000 satellites in orbit to keep the network fully operational. Currently, there are only 1,000 in low earth orbit (LEO). With each new wave of satellites, more people can be covered. To that end, Starlink is currently sending kits to people living in the northern hemisphere.
