The planned liftoff Thursday of an Indian Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle with a geostationary Earth-imaging satellite has been postponed due to technical reasons, India’s space agency announced.
This Falcon 9 flight marks the 20th orbital launch from Florida in 2024. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 7:42p.m. EDT (2342 UTC).
