Bad weather kept SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket on the ground Thursday night at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. SpaceX called off the countdown less than a minute before liftoff with 51 small satellites, hosted payloads, and orbital transfer vehicles heading into polar orbit on the Transporter 7 rideshare mission. Another launch attempt is planned at 11:47 p.m. PDT Friday (2:47 a.m. EDT; 0647 UTC Saturday).
