SpaceX delays launch of secret satellite for U.S. military

Thursday’s launch window opened at 9 a.m., and the company then targeted a 9:45 a.m. liftoff to “allow some weather to pass” but the countdown was halted automatically when sensors showed a buildup of pressure in the upper stage liquid oxygen tanks. Mission managers after 11 a.m. scrubbed Thursday’s attempt and will recycle for 24-hour turnaround.
