SpaceX announced a scrub of its planned Starlink 6‑61 mission, originally set for liftoff on Oct. 22 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Falcon 9 first‑stage booster B1078, which has completed 30 flights, is scheduled to carry 29 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit as the 75th Starlink launch of the year. The countdown was halted about 30 seconds before the 11:38 a.m. EDT launch after an abort call, and SpaceX did not provide a reason before ending the broadcast. Weather forecasts indicated an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions at the start of the window, decreasing to 40 percent later, with isolated showers and storms possible. The booster is expected to land on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas roughly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, which would represent the 164th landing for the vessel and the 652nd Falcon booster landing for SpaceX. A launch attempt on Friday, Aug. 21, remains possible if weather improves; otherwise the mission date will be rescheduled.
