SpaceX Postpones Bandwagon-5 Falcon 9 Launch to October 20 from Cape Canaveral
SpaceX postponed its Bandwagon-5 Falcon 9 rocket launch from Monday to Tuesday, October 20, due to unfavorable weather at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The mission will carry 32 payloads, including cubesats, microsats, and the Starfall reentry capsule. The booster, on its 19th flight, will attempt a drone ship landing in the Atlantic Ocean. Skywatchers may witness a rare glowing 'space jellyfish' effect near the rocket exhaust during the predawn launch, though this is not guaranteed.
