A Falcon 9 rocket must within two minutes of launch Friday night in Florida.
The countdown clock ticked down on Friday night to get a Falcon 9 rocket, attaining T-2 seconds ahead of the launching of a precious Global Positioning System satellite has been aborted. This was the 2nd successive time, in two weeks, a Falcon 9 launch was called off with only seconds left in the countdown.
An”unexpected floor sensor studying” triggered an automatic abort of a Starlink launching on Thursday in T-18 minutes. And on Friday evening, based on SpaceX founder Elon Musk,”an abrupt pressure increase at the turbomachinery gas chainsaw” led to the wash. The turbomachinery within this case pressurizes gas entering the”gas chainsaw,” that then is a little engine which powers the bigger Merlin rocket engine.
What exactly is happening? SpaceX has {} its Falcon 9 rocket over 90 times, and earlier this week {} any flaws have almost completely been because of weather, instead of technical issues with the rocket or its own floor systems.
