The team at Vandenberg Space Force Base scrubbed the scheduled Thursday morning launch attempt of a Falcon 9 rocket with 13 military satellites. 

After changing the planned launch time twice on Thursday, SpaceX announced it would stand down and try again Friday morning. 

That attempt is set for 7:26 a.m., with the launch window remaining open for 59 minutes.

Falcon 9 rockets lift off from Space Launch Complex-4 on South Base. 

For this mission, SpaceX intends to return the rocket’s first-stage booster to Vandenberg once its chores have been completed. 

That means residents in Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties can expect sonic booms due to the landing more than seven minutes after liftoff. 

The 24-hour delay will give the team time to troubleshoot a potential problem with an engine on the rocket. 

Awaiting their ride to orbit are 13 satellites for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 0 phase of developing a new generation of missile-tracking and data-relay system using a new philosophy toward purchasing and launching the craft.

The agency’s first 10 satellites arrived orbit in early April thanks to a delivery by a Falcon 9 rocket. 

A live broadcast of the countdown to launch can be found 15 minutes before the scheduled liftoff on the SpaceX website or its YouTube channel.
