Summary
But heavy cloud cover and high winds forced mission managers to delay the flight in hopes conditions would improve enough to permit liftoff during a second 10-minute window opening at 10:13 a.m.But the weather did not cooperate, the countdown was halted at the T-minus one-minute, 40-second mark and the launch team recycled for another attempt Sunday morning, at 9:14 a.m., when forecasters predict a much better chance of acceptable weather.SpaceX had been planning to launch the company's eighth batch of 60 Starlink satellites early Sunday, at 3:53 a.m., but the Atlas delay was expected to trigger a similar slip to Monday.
