Scrub recap:<\/strong> Scroll down to review live updates from the Tuesday, Sept. 9, scrubbed launch attempt of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket \u2014<\/strong> for the second straight night \u2014<\/strong> on the Nusantara Lima mission from Cape Canaveral<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Original story:<\/strong> After Monday’s weather-triggered scrub<\/a>, SpaceX is now targeting 9:37 p.m. \u2014 more than 1\u00bd hours later than initially scheduled \u2014 to try to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from rain- and cloud-shrouded Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.<\/p>\n

Welcome to FLORIDA TODAY Space Team live coverage of tonight\u2019s SpaceX Nusantara Lima mission from the Cape. If it lifts off, the Falcon 9 will deploy\u00a0an Indonesian communications satellite<\/a>\u00a0in geosynchronous transfer orbit.<\/p>\n

But tonight’s rainy forecast looks dismal. In fact, the Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron had only forecasted a 15% chance of favorable weather early during the launch window, increasing to a mere 30% by the end.<\/p>\n

Cumulus clouds, anvil clouds and surface electric fields loom as meteorological threats. No Brevard County sonic booms should occur. After soaring skyward due east, the rocket’s first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship out at sea 8\u00bd minutes after launch.<\/p>\n

Update 9:48 p.m.: <\/strong>SpaceX crews will make a third straight attempt to launch the Nusantara Lima satellite on Wednesday night. This new launch window will open at 8 p.m., per SpaceX’s webcast commentator.<\/p>\n

However, the 45th Weather Squadron’s forecast only calls for 30% odds of favorable conditions early during Wednesday’s launch window, increasing to 45% by the end.<\/p>\n
