SpaceX has scrubbed its launch of a satellite on Thursday for the second straight day, CNN reported.

It was not immediately clear why the launch was called off.

Wednesday’s launch was aborted out of “an abundance of caution” due to concerns over liquid oxygen temperatures.



SpaceX’s mission for the launch involves expanding internet access in Southeast Asia, where up to 1 billion people lack it.

A new launch date has not yet been announced.
