The US Space Force said this morning that the Dec. 13th USSF-52 mission launch attempt aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy has again been scrubbed.

The cancellation comes following scrubs in series of five previous expected launch dates, first set for December 1oth.

The cancellations have been for a variety of issues, ranging from launch readiness to ground-side equipment issues to weather. No official reason was given for the latest delay. However, there is some speculation that ground-side technical problems continue to plague the launch attempt.

Regardless, the latest cancellation of this Falcon Heavy launch comes amid forecasted deteriorating weather conditions in Florida. The weather is expected to be a problem into the weekend, as a sub-tropical system is forecast to cross the state bringing rain, storms, and high winds.

    The schedules are still showing a Starlink launch tonight, Dec. 13th, at 11:07 PM. There are rumors floating around, but as of now, it’s still there.
