United Launch Alliance Satellite mission again delayed after failure to take off Friday

United Launch Alliance again delayed their latest mission, after first delaying the mission Friday. Saturday’s delay is due to a communication issue between the rocket and the ground, according to a post on social media.

The launch of a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket carrying the Amazon Leo 1 mission is delayed due to a network communication issue between the ground equipment and the launch vehicle that requires reconfiguration that would extend the hold beyond the 29-minute launch window.…

The eventual launch is set to send ULA’S largest payload to date into space Saturday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The mission, named Vulcan Leo 1, will send 40 Amazon satellites into low-Earth orbit.

These satellites set out to help deliver high-speed internet to homes, businesses, and remote areas around the world. Similar to SpaceX’s Starlink satellites.
