SpaceX postponed the Falcon 9 launch of Amazon’s KF-02 satellite mission scheduled for Sunday because of adverse weather conditions, the company announced.
The launch window has been rescheduled to open at 8:35 a.m. US Eastern Time (12:35 GMT) on Monday, 11 August, from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida.
SpaceX confirmed the rocket and payload remain in good condition. The delay was prompted by unfavourable weather for booster recovery.

KF-02 will deploy 24 satellites for Amazon’s Project Kuiper constellation, which aims to provide global broadband access via more than 3,200 low Earth orbit satellites.
