KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – We were all excited for the potential of a rare, combined SpaceX and ULA launch double header on Florida’s Space Coast on Monday, April 27 – until poor weather intervened and scrubbed the liftoff of the first of the day namely the Falcon Heavy Monday morning as rain, winds and thunder rolled into the Kennedy Space Center and Launch Complex 39.
Despite the long odds SpaceX launch team counted down almost to the end and ultimately scrubbed the Falcon Heavy launch with about 29 seconds to T-zero
This launch counts as the first Falcon Heavy mission since Oct. 2024 on NASAs Europa Clipper science mission
Over this flight will be the 12th Falcon Heavy launch.
The team had 85 minutes window but decided to GO for the opening of the launch window
