SpaceX has announced that it’s letting go of the second launch opportunity for the Starship Flight 10 due to bad weather. The flight was scheduled to launch in the evening, and the team had 55% weather favorability after starting propellant loading for the first and second stages.

The reverse countdown went well, and no issues were found in the propellant load as well as the launch vehicle. The company conducted a hold at T minus 40 seconds and decided not to go with today’s launch attempt. On the other hand, the team turned this scrub into a wet dress rehearsal, which included propellant loading and tank pressurization of both stages in a real launch environment without lifting off the rocket.

Yesterday, SpaceX scrubbed the first launch window due to a liquid oxygen leak from the ground systems, which had been addressed immediately after the company postponed the mission. However, SpaceX will be exploring the next launch opportunity to launch this mega rocket, and the closest possible date could be tomorrow. Meanwhile, we need to wait for an official statement.
