Video: SpaceX Falcon 9 countdown aborted

A new space weather observatory to be stationed a million miles from Earth has been enclosed inside the nose cone of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for liftoff Sunday from Cape Canaveral.

Unfavorable high-altitude winds force officials to halt the countdown to launch the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Deep Space Climate Observatory on Feb. 10.

Expect fewer missions to study planet Earth in NASA’s future, agency officials told an advisory group last week. A blueprint of the Trump administration’s proposed NASA budget would cancel four Earth science missions already in the agency’s portfolio and slash research funding geared toward future projects.
