The American company SpaceX postponed the launch from Cape Canaveral launch vehicle Falcon 9, a geostationary satellite company SES on board, according to the website, who led the launch broadcast. The decision was made at the last minute before running out of the triggered alarm in the countdown. USAF vetoed the launch, SpaceX says on the website. The company does not rule out re-launch in the near future.

Initially, the launch was scheduled for February 25, but then prevented the start of the weather, a day later it was postponed again, this time for technical reasons.

SpaceX will try again to carry out a guided descent rocket reusable bottom step on an offshore platform in the Atlantic Ocean. The chances of success are small, recognize the company, because of the “inconvenient” orbit location.
