Live coverage: SpaceX scrubs Falcon Heavy launch, set to try again Thursday

SpaceX called off a launch attempt Wednesday for the company’s second Falcon Heavy rocket after high winds aloft posed a problem during the countdown. Another launch opportunity is available Thursday with a window opening at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 GMT) from pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. After the Falcon Heavy takes off with the Arabsat 6A communications satellite, the launcher’s two side boosters will return to a landing at Cape Canaveral, while the center core will aim for touchdown on a drone ship at sea.
