Overview

• SpaceX called off Sunday’s launch minutes before liftoff and Elon Musk said a ground‑side liquid oxygen leak at the pad was the cause.
• Company updates and local road closures point to a new attempt around 7:30 p.m. ET Monday with timing described as dynamic and subject to change.
• The plan calls for stage separation, deployment of eight Starlink simulators, an in‑space Raptor relight, and heat‑shield and flap stress tests.
• Instead of a tower catch, the Super Heavy booster will target a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico as the upper stage aims for reentry over the Indian Ocean.
• SpaceX says investigations into Flight 9 and June’s static‑fire explosion led to hardware and operational changes, as repeated 2025 losses have increased scrutiny tied to NASA’s Artemis timeline and Starlink ambitions.
