SpaceX launch aborted just before takeoff
CAPE CANAVERAL (FOX13) - The launch of a SpaceX rocket at Cape Canaveral was aborted just before takeoff.
The ignition sequence was aborted in final seconds of countdown because of rising oxygen temperatures.
This was the third try to launch the SpaceX rocket which will take a communications satellite into orbit.
At the 1:33 mark, the countdown was put on hold because of a boat in the area.
The countdown then continued, but that hold apparently caused the rising oxygen temperatures, which set off an alarm just before takeoff.
The launch was scrubbed for Sunday. No word yet when it will be rescheduled.
