Video: Falcon 9 rocket test-fired at pad 39A (members only)

Hazardous anvil clouds approaching from a nearby thunderstorm forced SpaceX to abort the takeoff of a Falcon 9 launcher Monday, delaying the start of an International Space Station resupply mission and a bold attempt to recover the rocket intact on an ocean-going platform.

An Indian rocket fired into space Wednesday with a high-power radar imaging satellite designed to peer through clouds and darkness to resolve signs of pollution, natural disasters and foreign military movements.

The mission comes as SpaceX continues to ferry four astronauts to the International Space Station on Axiom Mission 4, which launched in the predawn hours. Liftoff occurred from pad 40 at 3:54 p.m. EDT (1954 UTC).
