Technology company Elon Musk SpaceX is set to attempt the next rocket launch on Saturday, Dec. 19. SpaceX had to scramble a launch attempt Thursday due to technical issues with the second phase of the rocket. So the next attempt was scheduled for the weekend. SpaceX is launching Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center. The first stage of this Falcon 9 has flown four times before. This includes two spacelights of SpaceX’s commercial repurchase missions to the International Space Station for NASA and also the launch of Starlink, as well as for SAOCOM 1B, a satellite launch activity for the Argentinian space agency in August.
